Constraining arcuate divergence in an ion mirror mass analyser
Abstract:
A charged particle analyzer apparatus comprising two opposing ion mirrors each mirror comprising inner and outer field-defining electrode systems elongated along an axis z, the outer system surrounding the inner, whereby when the electrode systems are electrically biased the mirrors create an electrical field comprising opposing electrical fields along z; and at least one arcuate focusing lens for constraining the arcuate divergence of a beam of charged particles within the analyzer while the beam orbits around the axis z, the analyzer further comprising a disc having two faces at least partly spanning the space between the inner and outer field defining electrode systems and lying in a plane perpendicular to the axis z, the disc having resistive coating upon both faces. A mass spectrometer system comprising a plurality of the charged particle analyzers arranged as a parallel array.
