A retarding-field differential-output energy prefilter has been optically matched to a quadrupole mass spectrometer to produce a high-performance secondary ion quadrupole mass spectrometer. The sample area was designed to be field free to allow for sample charge compensation and to prevent...
- Mass spectrometer utilizing permanent magnets. Trow, John R. // Review of Scientific Instruments;Nov85, Vol. 56 Issue 11, p2163
A fairly compact mass spectrometer suitable for vacuum use, and requiting no cooling, was built utilizing permanent magnets. A uniform, variable magnetic field, with a maximum of 2800 G, was produced in a 0.6-cm-wide gap by using a rotating block of samarium-cobalt permanent magnets, and an iron...
- Beam compression and beam multiplexing in a time-of-flight mass spectrometer. Riess, I. // Review of Scientific Instruments;May87, Vol. 58 Issue 5, p784
Two new methods for operating a time-of-flight mass spectrometer are suggested. The first is a beam compression method which allows separation of one kind of particle (one m/q ratio) at a time, from a beam continously emitted by an ion source. Due to the continuous operation of the source a...

Field distortions in the vicinity of wire meshes can change the direction of passing ions. Small deflection angles of ions passing through wire meshes in the reflector can reduce the mass resolution of time-of-flight mass spectrometers. We calculate these effects.
