Abstract: Devices and methods for mass spectroscopic analysis of particles are disclosed herein. An example device includes: a first irradiation unit configured to irradiate a particle with electromagnetic radiation to cause components of the particle to detach from the particle. The example device further includes a second irradiation unit configured to irradiate substantially simultaneously i) at least a part of the detached components, and optionally a residual core of the particle, with a first beam of electromagnetic radiation the first beam of electromagnetic radiation exhibiting a first intensity, and ii) at least a part of the residual core, of the particle with a second beam of electromagnetic radiation. The second beam of electromagnetic radiation exhibiting a second intensity, which is preferably larger than the first intensity. The example device further includes a mass spectrometer comprising an ion source region, a first detection channel, and optionally a second detection channel.

Abstract: Described is a glow plug having a casing and a ceramic glow pin protruding out of the casing. The glow pin has a tapered end section inside the casing. A metal protective tube protrudes out of the casing and surrounds the glow pin. The protective tube has a widened end section inside the casing. A center electrode is arranged in the casing and electrically connected to the glow pin. The glow plug includes an annular or sleeve-shaped contact element through which the glow pin projects and to which the tapered end section of the glow pin is soldered. The contact element is at least partly surrounded by the widened end section of the protective tube.
