Title: Apparatus and method relating to an improved Mass Spectrometer
Inventor: BLENKINSOPP PAUL WILLIAM MILES
IPC: H01J49/14
Filed: 2014-05-13
Abstract: The present invention relates to an analytical method whereby a beam of ionised clusters is used to bombard a sample 70 under vacuum either as a secondary ion mass spectrometry (SIMS) analysis beam, or as a sputter or dosing beam during, or in rapid alternation with, bombardment by another beam that is acting as a SIMS analysis beam.
