RF and Exit Lens
Ions from the ion transfer tube pass through the RF lens and then the exit lens (Figure 10).
The RF lens is an ion transmission device consisting of progressively spaced, stainless-steel
electrodes. The TSQ Altis MS (Figure 10) and TSQ Quantis MS (Figure 11) have an RF and
an exit lens. The TSQ Fortis MS has just an exit lens (Figure ). The MS applies an RF voltage
to the electrodes, and the adjacent electrodes have voltages of opposite phase. As the RF
amplitude increases, ions of progressively higher m/z values pass through to the exit lens and
move toward the MP00 RF lens. The exit lens acts as a vacuum baffle between the higher
pressure API source interface region and the lower pressure MP00 RF lens region of the
vacuum manifold.
