Multi-reflection time-of-flight (MR-ToF) devices are mass separators and analyzers with high resolving powers and fast processing times. For ion injection and ejection, either the electrostatic ion-mirrors or an in-trap lift electrode [1] can be switched. Both methods result in advantages as well as drawbacks. We show the results of a combination of the two, i.e. in-trap lift switching is employed for ion capture with increased mirror-potential stability and exit-side mirror switching for increased ejection mass band width.
Measurements with small lead clusters illustrate the individual techniques as well as the gain from their combination [2].
