Abstract
A time-of-flight mass spectrometer (TOF-MS) utilizes an ion dispersion device and a position-sensitive ion detector or an energy-sensitive ion detector to enable measurement of time of flight and kinetic energy of ions arriving at the detector. The measurements may be utilized to improve accuracy in calculating ion masses.
