Abstract
A Time of Flight mass analyser is disclosed comprising: at least one ion mirror (() for reflecting ions; an ion detector () arranged for detecting the reflected ions; a first pulsed ion accelerator () for accelerating an ion packet in a first dimension (Y-dimension) towards the ion detector () so that the ion packet spatially converges in the first dimension as it travels to the detector (); and a pulsed orthogonal accelerator () for orthogonally accelerating the ion packet in a second, orthogonal dimension (X-dimension) into one of said at least one ion mirrors ().
