Static mass spectrographs of a new type using Euler’s homogeneous electric and magnetic fields. II: Conditions of high-order double focusing for two-cascade schemes

详细

Static mass spectrometers are masked by more modern and more sophisticated mass spectrometric instruments, but their potential nowhere is almost exhausted. One of the principle advantages of static mass spectrometers is that they are the only type of mass spectrometric instruments capable of operating in a spectrographic mode by measuring the whole range of masses per a single run. However, systems with good spectrographic properties significantly differ from the optical point of view from systems with good spectrometric properties, and the development of such devices leads to completely new optical problems and, accordingly, to novel methods of their solution. In this paper, we consider possibilities related to the application of electrostatic and magnetostatic fields, homogeneous in Euler’s terms, to the development of two-cascade mass spectrographs with double focusing.
