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 16):
The spectrometer of  claim 15 , wherein the ion accelerator is configured to pulse ions towards the detector in a series of ion accelerator pulses, wherein the timings of the pulses are determined by an encoding sequence that varies the duration of the time interval between adjacent pulses as the series of pulses progresses; and wherein the spectrometer comprises a processor configured to use the timings of the pulses in the encoding sequence to determine which ion data detected at the detector relate to which ion accelerator pulse so as to resolve spectral data obtained from the different ion accelerator pulses.
