The paper concerns the diagnostics of ions escaping from dense magnetized plasma (DMP) discharges. Particular attention is paid to the basic problem of the separation of such ions from the investigated plasma, under the condition that this process should not disturb the velocity (and energy) distribution functions of the measured ions.
