Abstract:
An ion mirror is disclosed comprising an ion entrance electrode section ( 62 ) at the ion entrance to the ion mirror, an energy focussing electrode section ( 66 ) for reflecting ions back along a longitudinal axis towards said ion entrance, and a spatial focussing electrode section ( 64 ) arranged between the ion entrance electrode section ( 62 ) and the energy focussing electrode section ( 66 ) for spatially focussing the ions. One or more DC voltage supply is provided to apply a DC potential to the ion entrance electrode section ( 62 ) that is intermediate the DC potential applied to the spatial focussing electrode section ( 64 ) and the DC potential applied to the energy focussing electrode section ( 66 ). The ion mirror further comprises: (i) at least one first transition electrode ( 68 ) arranged between said ion entrance electrode section ( 62 ) and said spatial focussing electrode section ( 64 ), wherein said one or more DC voltage supply is configured to apply a DC potential to said at least one first transition electrode that is intermediate the DC potential applied to the ion entrance electrode section ( 62 ) and the DC potential applied to the spatial focussing electrode section ( 64 ); and (ii) at least one second transition electrode ( 69 ) arranged between said energy focussing electrode section ( 66 ) and said spatial focussing electrode section ( 64 ), wherein said one or more DC voltage supply is configured to apply a DC potential to said at least one second transition electrode ( 69 ) that is intermediate the DC potential applied to the spatial focussing electrode section ( 64 ) and the DC potential applied to the ion entrance electrode section ( 62 ).

Claim (Index 34):
The spectrometer of  claim 33 , further comprising an ion accelerator for pulsing ions from the ion source array, downstream towards the detector, and wherein the spectrometer is configured to determine the flight times of the ions from the ion accelerator to the detector.
