Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A method of mass spectrometry is disclosed comprising directing first photons from a laser onto ions located within a 2D or linear ion guide or ion trap. The frequency of the first photons is scanned and first photons and/or second photons emitted by the ions are detected. The ions are then mass analyzed using a Time of Flight mass analyzer.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. A method of mass spectrometry comprising: directing first photons from a laser onto ions located within a 2D or linear ion guide or ion trap; scanning the frequency of said first photons; detecting second photons emitted by said ions; and then mass analysing said ions using a Time of Flight mass analyser. 2. A method as claimed in claim 1 , further comprising directing said first photons in a direction which is substantiall…
