title: MICRA: a compact permanent magnet Fourier transform ion cyclotron resonance mass spectrometer.
abstract: MICRA, a compact Fourier transform ion cyclotron resonance (FT-ICR) mass spectrometer is described. The amount of miniaturisation in this device, based on a 1.24 T permanent magnet, remains compatible with genuine FT-ICR performance and analytical power in the mass range 2-1000 m/z, with a mass resolving power of 73,000 at mass 132. A first application of the transportability is the repetitive coupling of MICRA with a large-scale source of IR photons, the free electron laser CLIO.
