| 20110001056 | COMPONENT FOR MANIPULATING A STREAM OF CHARGED PARTICLES - An apparatus for manipulating the trajectories of moving charged particles. The apparatus includes a grid of laterally spaced side by side elongate elements and means defining a path for charged particles to traverse the grid. The grid is supported and configured for application of a voltage gradient between and/or along the elongate elements, whereby to manipulate the trajectories of charged particles that traverse the grid. A method of manipulating the trajectories of moving charged particles is also disclosed. | 01-06-2011 |
