A super-resolution proof of concept in a cycloidal coded aperture miniature mass spectrometer.

Journal Article Rapid communications in mass spectrometry : RCM · May 2025 RationaleHigher resolution in fieldable mass spectrometers (MS) is desirable in space flight applications to enable resolving isobaric interferences at m/z < 60 u. Resolution in portable cycloidal MS coupled with array detectors could be improved ... Full text Cite

A super-resolution coded aperture miniature mass spectrometer proof-of-concept for planetary science

Journal Article International Journal of Mass Spectrometry · January 1, 2025 Mass spectrometers are essential instruments for in situ analysis of planetary materials. Ideally, a space flight mass spectrometer would have a mass range from ∼10 u to at least 500 u to enable analysis of organic molecules to aid in searching for the req ... Full text Cite
