1) Two hollow D-shaped metallic chambers `D_(1) and D_(2)`
2) High frequency oscillator
3) Strong electro magnet
4) Vacuum chamber.
Uses of cyclotron :
1) It is used for producing radioactive material for medical purposes i.e. diagnostics and treatment of chronic diseases.
2) It is used to improve the quality of solids by adding ions.
3) It is used to synthesise fresh substances.
4) It is used to bombard the atoms with highly accelerated particles to study the nuclear reactions.
