ABSTRACT:
A nanoparticle ion detector includes an ion trap that receives charged particles ejected from a mass selection device. A laser beam illuminates the particles to induce fluorescence, which is detected by the photon detector. Particles are periodically dumped from the ion trap. A mass spectrum of the charged particles can be obtained by comparing signals from the photon detector with the particle ejection characteristics of the mass selection device.
