Claim 1
Independent Claim
102 words
FOR A MASS SPECTROMETER INCLUDING A MAGNETIC ANALYSER IN WHICH IONS FROM A SAMPLE BEING ANALYSED ARE PASSED THROUGH A MAGNETIC FIELD BETWEEN ELONGATED POLE PIECES AND ARE DEFLECTED IN A PLANE EXTENDING PERPENDICULAR TO SAID MAGNETIC FIELD, ION COLLECTING APPARATUS COMPRISING A LAYER OF MATERIAL SENSITIVE TO IONS, AND AN ION FOCUSSING SYSTEM EXTENDING OVER THE SURFACE OF SAID SENSITIVE LAYER IN A DIRECTION ALONG THE LENGTH OF SAID POLE PIECES, SYSTEM PROVIDING AN ION FOCUSSING FIELD TO FOCUS IONS IN THE DIRECTION OF THE MAGNETIC FIELD BETWEEN THE POLE PIECES IONS TRAVELLING TOWARDS SAID SENSITIVE LAYER FROM SAID MAGNETIC ANALYSER.
