Description

The Fast Imaging Plasma Spectrometer (FIPS) instrument is an imaging mass spectrometer combining a novel wide-angle electrostatic deflection system and a linear time-of-flight system.

   The FIPS sensor consists of an electrostatic analyzer (ESA), located 
  at the entrance to the sensor, a post-acceleration chamber between 
  the output of the ESA and the carbon foil, and a time-of-flight 
  telescope. The ESA at the entrance to the FIPS acts as a wide-angle 
  lens for ions. It only allows ions with a specific energy/charge band 
  to enter through its output plane.
