Stern-Gerlach (1922)

Shot silver atoms through a slit then a magnetic field and observing the splitting on a screen. This is due to the fact that the magnetic moment is collinear with the Spin of the atom. The dual slits implied that the spin is quantized rather than continuous. μ=emecS,W=μB,F=μzBzz.

Results showed that spin states are discrete by the dual band of Silver atoms from the spin up and down states.
