Ibisobanuro bigufi:

Imashini ipima ibisasu ikoresheje intoki ishingiye ku ihame rya spectrum y’uburyo bubiri bw’inguni (IMS), ikoresha isoko nshya idafite imirasire ya ionization, ishobora kubona no gusesengura icyarimwe uduce duto tw’ibisasu n’udukoko tw’imiti, kandi ubushobozi bwo kubitahura bugera ku rwego rwa nanogramu. Imashini idasanzwe irasukwa hanyuma igafatwa ku buso bw’ikintu gikekwa. Iyo imashini ishyizwe mu mashini ipima, icyuma gipima kihita kigaragaza imiterere n’ubwoko bw’ibisasu n’imiti. Iyi mashini iragendanwa kandi yoroshye kuyikoresha, cyane cyane ikwiriye gupimwa ahantu iherereye. Ikoreshwa cyane mu kugenzura ibisasu n’imiti mu ndege za gisivili, mu nzira za gari ya moshi, mu by’amahoro, mu kurinda imipaka no mu matsinda y’abantu, cyangwa nk'igikoresho cyo kugenzura ibimenyetso by’ingenzi bikorwa n’inzego zishinzwe iyubahirizwa ry’amategeko mu gihugu.
