Abstract
A time-of-flight mass spectrometer assembly includes a flange with a vacuum chamber facing surface and an environment facing surface. The flange defines an opening that extends between the vacuum chamber facing surface and the environment facing surface. A plurality of stacked components are supported by the vacuum chamber facing surface of the flange. A secondary flange is removably secured within the opening of the flange. The secondary flange includes a vacuum chamber facing surface and an environment facing surface. A supported spectrometer component is supported by the vacuum chamber facing surface of the secondary flange such that removal of the secondary flange from the flange acts to remove the supported component from the plurality of stacked components supported by the vacuum chamber facing surface of the flange.
