Abstract:
A mass analyzing apparatus and system are disclosed for time-of-flight (“TOF”) mass spectrometry analysis. A representative system includes a first electrostatic mirror prism to reflect a first ion beam and provide an intermediate ion beam having an intermediate TOF focus and having a spatial dispersion of ions proportional to ion kinetic energies; and a second electrostatic mirror prism to reflect the second ion beam and converge the spatial dispersion of ions to provide a third, recombined ion beam having an output TOF focus; and an ion detector arranged at the output TOF focus to receive and detect the ions of the third ion beam. A bandpass filter may be arranged at the intermediate TOF focus to selectively allow propagation of ions of the second ion beam having a selected range of ion kinetic energies. Configurations having additional electrostatic mirror prisms are disclosed, including for tandem MS-MS and selectable time-of-flight.

Claim (Index 18):
The system of  claim 12 , wherein the first electrostatic mirror prism, the second electrostatic mirror prism, the third electrostatic mirror prism, the fourth electrostatic mirror prism, the fifth electrostatic mirror prism, and the sixth electrostatic mirror prism are coplanar in an energy dispersion plane.
