Abstract

A mass and/or ion mobility spectrometercomprises a sample platethat supports a target sample. The spectrometerfurther comprises a laser sourcethat generates a series of laser pulsesand a control systemthat moves a focal point of the laser sourcesubstantially continuously across the sample platesuch that respective packets of ions are generated by respective laser pulsesimpinging upon respective locations on the target sample. The control systemperforms plural cycles of ion analysis that each produce a set of spectral data corresponding to one or more of the packets of ions. The spectrometercan provide mass and/or ion mobility spectrometry having increased speed and efficiency.
