Double-focusing mass spectrometer
Mass spectrometer that incorporates a magnetic sector and an electric sector connected in series in such a way that ions with the same m/z but with distributions in both the direction and the translational energy of their motion are brought to a focus.

Double-focusing mass spectrometer

double-focusing mass spectrograph

An instrument which uses both direction and velocity focusing, and therefore an ion beam initially diverging in direction and containing ions of different kinetic energies is separated into beams according to the quotient mass/charge, these beams being focused on to a photographic plate or film.

Double-focusing mass spectrometer

An instrument that uses both direction and velocity focusing so that an ion beam initially diverging and containing ions of different energies is separated into beams according to the mass/charge ratio. The ion beam is measured electrically.
