• He realized he could do so by measuring the signs of the atomic moments in states for which the nuclear and atomic spins were antiparallel; he also realized that atoms with antiparallel spins could be identified by observing the transitions induced by passing the atoms through a magnetic field whose direction changed as a function of position.
