If I can Identify all the Parts So Can You

The spectrometer can be broken down into several major functional components. Obviously, a magnet is required as is a set of receiver coils and some electronic equipment to record the signals. A very simple block diagram of the spectrometer might look something like:

Of course, things are a wee bit more complicated than this but this is the general picture. The details are too many to fit on one page so:
