    摘要: The present invention is embodied in a method and apparatus for utilizing inherently insulative material, such as the glass and epoxy resins used in construction of printed circuit boards, for construction of components in a time of flight mass spectrometer. By using printed circuit board materials, the present invention can take advantage of fabrication techniques for providing circuit traces on surfaces, from one side to another as a via, or embedded within the printed circuit material so as to be covered except where necessary to be exposed to make contact with other electrical devices. Embedded circuit traces also enable capacitive coupling to AC energy while maintaining electrical and physical isolation. Consequently, the present invention enables both invasive and non-invasive access to pressure and vacuum chambers.

    摘要: In an ion cyclotron resonance mass spectrometer, ion cyclotron resonance signals at higher harmonics of cyclotron frequency are employed to increase the resolution of ICR mass spectrometer without increasing the magnetic field. The detection electrodes consist of M (where M is an integer) identical electrodes arranged in M-fold symmetry about the axis of the coherent cyclotron motion of the observed ions. In an ion cyclotron having four points of voltage in space, the cyclotron electrodes are set up in clockwise symmetric fashion. To increase the resolution in signal detection resulting from the potential induced by ions moving in orbits in the specrometer, the first and third voltages are added and the second and fourth voltages are subtracted from the sum of the first and third voltages.

    摘要: The present invention is embodied in a method and apparatus for transporting ions via a path generated by RF electrodes having a controllable DC field gradient generated thereon which does not suffer from mass discrimination. In a preferred embodiment, the number of electrodes are doubled to thereby use symmetry to cancel an undesirable DC quadrapole field. By eliminating the DC quadrapole field, the passband of the DC field gradient is increased, allowing for ions of higher mass to be transported. The electrodes are either tilted or tapered to thereby generate the desirable DC field gradient. Tilting and/or tapering the electrodes advantageously modifies the DC field gradient to increase the high ion mass cut-off.
