The Pixel Imaging Mass Spectrometry (PImMS) camera is used in proof-of-principle three-dimensional (3D) imaging experiments on the photodissociation of carbonyl sulfide and ethyl iodide at wavelengths around 230 nm and 245 nm, respectively. Coupling the PImMS camera with DC-sliced velocity-map imaging allows the complete three-dimensional Newton sphere of photofragment ions to be recorded on each laser pump-probe cycle with a timing precision of 12.5 ns, yielding velocity resolutions along the time-of-flight axis of around 6–9% in the applications presented
