Abstract:
A basic ion optical system having a guaranteed capability for the temporal focusing of ions, including sector-shaped electrodes, an injection slit and an ejection slit, is arranged on the same plane. Four or more sets of the basic ion optical systems are arrayed at predetermined intervals in a direction substantially orthogonal to the aforementioned plane. The injection slit on a topmost basic ion optical system plane and the ejection slit on a basic ion optical system plane located immediate below, as well as the injection slit on a bottommost basic ion optical system plane and the ejection slit on a basic ion optical system plane located immediate above, are respectively connected by another type of basic ion optical system having a guaranteed capability for the temporal focusing of ions. The other injection slits and ejection slits are respectively connected by another type of basic ion optical system having a guaranteed capability for the temporal focusing of ions. Thus, a loop orbit having a three-dimensionally deformed figure “8”-shape is formed, whereby the flight distance is elongated while ensuring the temporal focusing of the ions for the entire system, simultaneously with utilizing the three-dimensional space to compactify the ion optical system.
