Abstract:
A time-of-flight mass spectrometer is disclosed comprising: an ion deflector ( 305 ) configured to deflect ions to different positions in a first array of positions at different times; a position sensitive ion detector ( 187 ); and ion optics ( 180 ) arranged and configured to guide ions from the first array of positions to the position sensitive detector ( 187 ) so as to map ions from the first array of positions to a second array of positions on the position sensitive detector ( 187 ); wherein the ion optics includes at least one ion mirror for reflecting the ions.

Claim (Index 4):
The spectrometer of  claim 1 ,  2  or  3 , wherein the voltage supply is configured to step the voltage between different, discrete values with time so that the ions are deflected to different, discrete positions in said first array of positions with time and are mapped to corresponding different, discrete positions on said detector; or\n wherein the voltage supply is configured to continuously vary the voltage with time so that the ions are continuously swept across the first array of different positions with time and are mapped to different positions on said detector at different times.
