The scope of this study into the analytical potential of gas phase Auger electron spectrometry (AES) is defined, and its relation to the work previously conducted at the University of Technology, Loughborough on this topic is shown. The vacuum generators AFM2 gas phase Auger electron spectrometer is described in detail, this includes a discussion of maintenance and fault-finding. Detailed operating instructions based on the manufacturer's manual and the author's experience, are included. The theoretical and experimental aspects of the operational parameters of the electron gun, analyser, detector, sample introduction system, and the recording system are given. The choice of parameter values for the optimal performance of the instrument are discussed. [Abstract.]
