These primary electrodes are driven by an excitation voltage comprising A.C. and D.C. components balanced with respect to the reference potential to provide a multipole mass filter. An ion source is positioned adjacent to the entrance end of the multipole mass filter for transmitting ions generally along the central axis to an ion detector positioned adjacent to the exit end of the multipole mass filter. Auxiliary electrodes, at least some of which may be operated at different potentials, are disposed between adjacent pairs of the primary electrodes along the length thereof outside the central region defined by a cylinder inscribed between the primary electrodes. These auxiliary electrodes are driven by a plurality of independently adjustable D.C. control voltages to reduce artifacts in the mass spectra obtained from the multipole mass filter.,下面是Multipole mass filter with artifact-reducing electrode structure专利的具体信息内容。
