SIMION Exercises: These exercises will allow you to investigate the properties of various mass analyzers. Discover for yourself the factors that control mass dispersion and resolution in magnetic sectors (including fringing magnetic field), explore the operation of electrostatic energy filters including a novel retarding field energy filter . Included are SIMION models of a 90 degree sector instrument, and a triple sector instrument, all courtesy of Tony Appelhans of the Idaho National Laboratory.
Instructions: You will need to download the written instructions and the SIMION models to take full advantage of these exercises.
