“…The analyzer, however, had a weak point in that the performance was degraded by the disturbance of the electric field near the end plates. We have improved their analyzer and developed a modified one, which consists of an inner electrode, an outer electrode, three sets of compensation electrodes, a pinhole with a diameter of 0.8 mm, microchannel plates (MCP, Hamamatsu Photonics, F4655), and a magnetic shield(Figures 16.2 and 16.3)[46]. The trajectories of electrons and isoelectric lines simulated with SIMION 3D version 7.0 (http://www.sisweb.com/simion.htm) are also shown inFigure 16.2.…”
