Voltage supply for a mass analyser

Abstract

A voltage supply for a mass analyser is provided. The voltage supply comprises a voltage source, a first voltage output, a second voltage output, and a voltage divider network. The first voltage output is configured to provide a first voltage to a first electrode of the mass analyser, wherein the first electrode of the mass analyser has a first mass shift per volt perturbation. The second voltage output is configured to provide a second voltage to a second electrode of the mass analyser, wherein the second electrode of the mass analyser has a second mass shift per volt perturbation. The second mass shift per volt perturbation opposes the first mass shift per volt perturbation. The voltage divider network comprises a first resistor and a second resistor.
