The development of miniature ion trap mass
spectrometers has been an active area, fueled by the
promising analytical capabilities and the convenience of
fast in situ analysis. The objective is to miniaturize
mass spectrometers in weight, size, and power consumption
while retaining the analytical capabilities of mass
spectrometry at the same time. The book focuses on the
instrumentation of miniature ion trap mass spectrometers,
including ionization, ion transfer, mass analyzer, ion
...
