title: A pulsed time-of-flight mass spectrometer for liquid secondary ion mass spectrometry.
abstract: The design and performance of a new time-of-flight mass spectrometer is reported. The instrument combines the advantages of a pulsed drawout TOF analyzer with a liquid secondary ion source. Differences from commercially available pulsed TOF analyzers (Wiley/McLaren type) are discussed with regard to operation with ion desorption from a liquid matrix.
