Abstract
PREVIOUS investigators have failed to record any fine structures in the spectra of tin1. By the use of a Fabry-Perot interferometer I have examined the spectrum of Sn II emitted by a hollow cathode discharge, and obtained structures in several lines. Aston reports 11 tin isotopes within the range 112–124, and of these, 76 per cent are even whilst the percentage abundances of the odd isotopes are 115 = 0.4, 117 = 9.8, 119 = 11, 121 = 2.9.
