摘要 |
<p>The invention relates to electronic analysis technology for determining the composition and structure of substances, and more particularly relates to the field of analyzers comprising at least one mass spectrometer (MS). The invention can be used, for example, in medicine, biology, the oil and gas industry, metallurgy, power engineering, geochemistry, hydrology and ecology. The main aim of the present invention is to increase the resolving power of an MS. Proposed are devices for forming and introducing into an analysis IB unit of an MS a plurality of small cross-section ion paths, thus increasing the resolving power of the MS. The invention additionally provides an increase in the sensitivity, accuracy and speed with which the composition and structure of substances are measured, while also expanding the functional capabilities of an MS. A further aim achieved by the proposed invention is that of increasing the range of means available. In the invention for mass spectrometry, ion optical elements with a central plane are proposed, which make it possible to carry out simultaneous or successive substance analysis on different paths and channels.</p> |
