Electrospray
- The solution is dissolved in a volatile solution and passed through a fine hypodermic needle connected to a positive voltage supply which produces positively charged droplets. Each atom gains a H+ ion (a proton) so becomes positive
- 2. Ionisation
  - Electron Bombardment
    - The sample is vaporised and shot at by an electron gun firing high energy electrons. The electrons knock off an electron from an atom forming a positive ion
