Ion kinetic energy spectrometer

摘要: A spectrometer is provided for analyzing metastable decompositions which occur in certain ions. Metastable result a precursor ion decomposing into daughter and an uncharged particle of mass. The presence such ions determine unique spectra compounds are difficult to distinguish using conventional mass techniques. utilizes wedge-shaped beam afforded by the use relatively inexpensive electrostatic lens assembly. drift space allow decompose thence be analyzed.
