IMPROVEMENTS RELATING TO MASS SPECTROMETERS

Patent ·
OSTI ID:4055659

A mass spectrometer ion collecting apparatus is designed for suppressing adverse effects due to secondary emission in the apparatus. The apparatus comprises a collector member coated with a layer sensitive to ions, an electrode extending over the layer and spaced therefrom, means for applying a positive potential to the electrode to attract the negatively charged secondary particles emitted from the sensitive layer, and a slit extending along the electrode to pass the primary ions on to the sensitive layer. (D.L.C.)
