We have made a cooled sputter ion source for producing clusters of volatile samples. A sample holder was cooled by coolant sent by a tube pump from outside of vacuum chamber. The temperature at sample holder reached to -10°C. Stable ion current of mercury-secium clusters, (Hg)nCs+ type, were observed for long time.

Key words: Cooled ion source, Sputter source, Mercury clusters, Volatile samples
