Title: Biography of Anatoli N Verentchikov
Introduction: Anatoli N Verentchikov is a prominent inventor based in St. Petersburg, Russia. He has made significant contributions to the field of mass spectrometry, holding a total of nine patents. His innovative work has advanced the technology used in analytical chemistry and related disciplines.
Latest Patents: One of his latest inventions is the Quasi-planar multi-reflecting time-of-flight mass spectrometer. This device includes two quasi-planar electrostatic ion mirrors that are extended along the drift direction and formed of parallel electrodes, separated by a field-free region. The mass spectrometer features a pulsed ion source that releases ion packets at a small angle to the X-direction, which is orthogonal to the drift direction Z. The ion packets are reflected between the ion mirrors and drift along the designated path. The mirrors are strategically arranged to provide time-of-flight focusing of the ion packets on the receiver. Additionally, the mirrors offer spatial focusing in the Y-direction, which is orthogonal to both the drift direction Z and the ion injection direction X. In a preferred embodiment, at least one mirror incorporates a feature that provides periodic spatial focusing of ion packets in the drift Z-direction.
Career Highlights: Throughout his career, Anatoli has worked with notable organizations, including Leco Corporation and the University of New Hampshire. His experience in these institutions has allowed him to refine
