Focal plane detector

{
  "id": "MLC-T-CHM-004553",
  "term": "Focal plane detector",
  "field": "Chemistry",
  "definition": "A type of detector in mass spectrometry that simultaneously records ions arriving at different positions along a focal plane, corresponding to different mass-to-charge ratios. This allows for the simultaneous detection of a range of ion masses without scanning. It is commonly employed in instruments with spatial dispersion, such as magnetic sector mass spectrometers.",
