The 14C atoms naturally present in a piece of 19th-century wood have been detected directly by means of a tandem Van de Graaff accelerator used as a high-energy mass spectrometer. The 14C ions were easily resolved from interfering ions with the use of a Δ E-E detector telescope (this telescope consists of a pair of detectors; one of them measures the specific ionization, Δ E, and the sum of the signals from both detectors gives the total energy for each ion, ET). The technique offers a number of practical advantages.
