A time-dependent postextraction differential acceleration (PEDA) potential was used to temporally focus increasingly heavy ions in a stigmatic imaging mass spectrometer, allowing them to be imaged with high mass and spatial resolutions over a broad mass-to-charge ( m / z ) range. By applying a linearly rising potential to the ion extraction electrode, sequential m / z ratios were subjected to a changing electric field, allowing their foci to coincide at the detector. Using this approach, at least 75% of the maximum mass resolution was obtained over a 300-600 Da range when the ion microscope was focused around 450 Da, representing more than a 10-fold increase over the conventional single-field PEDA method.
