Abstract

Systems and methods for analyzing samples are provided. In some embodiments, a mass spectrometer may include a source configured to output a plurality of particles, a tube having a central axis, and a skimmer. In some embodiments, the skimmer may include an aperture arranged to receive the one or more charged particles deflected by a deflector and a contact surface comprising an intersection point that intersects the central axis of the tube. The intersection point may be spaced from the aperture by a distance of at least 5 mm.
