The pure tunneling inversion transition of ammonia embedded in (4)He droplets was investigated in the microwave frequency range. We observed a spectrum that consists of a sharp peak, only 15 MHz wide, on top of a broad feature. The peculiar line shape could be simulated with an empirical model and is a clear experimental evidence for an energy level substructure of molecular states in doped helium droplets.
