Ion optics 1-7
Ion optics
The instrument’s ion optics operate as follows:
1. Samples from the LC or Intellistart fluidics system are introduced at
atmospheric pressure into the ionization source.
2. The ions pass through the sample cone into the vacuum system.
3. Ions are filtered according to their mass-to-charge ratio (m/z).
4. The transmitted ions are detected by the photomultiplier detection
system.
5. The signal is amplified, digitized, and sent to the Empower
chromatography or MassLynx mass spectrometry software.
