ARRAY DETECTORS FOR SIMULTANEOUS MEASUREMENT OF IONS IN MASS SPECTROMETRY

摘要

Improvements for viewing particles, e.g. electrons or ions, in mass spectrometer systems. A special kind of system allows a phosphor (700) to be formed which does not include any kind of conductive layer thereon. The particles impinge directly on the phosphor, and produce light that shines through an ITO layer (710). This special system enables lower voltage, and smaller systems. Another improvement enables direct viewing of ions from the system.
