โฆ Synopsis
An algorithm is suggested that allows the implementation of first order velocity (energy) focusing in a linear, single field, time-of-flight mass spectrometer (TOF/MS) over a broad mass range using a time-dependent mass-corrected extraction field. The interpolation formula for extraction field dependence on time for a particular geometry of TOF/MS is presented. There are two values that determine the expression for temporal dependence of the extraction field: the geometry scale parameter (the ratio of the ion source and field-free drift tube lengths) and the initial point (low-mass limit) of scanning in the mass spectrum.
