The IMA is a mass resolving spectrograph that provides measurements of the main ion components (H, H2, He, and O).  The mass detection technique utilized by IMA is ideal for the detection of ions of all masses, including sub-micron sized "dusty" plasma components.

 

The Ion Mass Analyzer (IMA) anode is funded by NASA as a Discovery Program Mission of Opportunity.
