ion trap mass spectrometer

https://doi.org/10.1351/goldbook.I03249
An arrangement in which ions with a desired range of quotients mass/charge are first made to describe @S05900@ paths under the effect of a high-frequency electric quadrupole field, and are then separated and presented to a detector by adjusting the field so as to @S05563@ induce path instability according to their respective mass/charge ratios.
