Abstract
In various embodiments, provided are ion optical assemblies, and systems for mounting and aligning ion optic components. In various embodiments, the present teachings provide ion optical assemblies with features that facilitate the alignment of ion optical elements. In various embodiments, the alignment of the ion optical elements by compressing them with securing members, as described in the present teachings, can simplify the alignment and assembly of ion optical elements. In the present teachings, no torque pattern is required to compress and align the ion optical elements. In various embodiments, the present teachings provide systems for mounting and aligning ion optic components that facilitate their alignment.
