Abstract

An ion trap such as an ion cyclotron resonance analyzer cell (trap) is described wherein the ion trap comprises a plurality of electrodes and has at least one integrated ion detector, preferably a position-sensitive and/or time-sensitive ion detector, wherein at least part of said ion detector is configured as an electrode of said ion trap. Methods of position-sensitive detection of ions in such ion trap are described as well.
