• Frequency of axial
oscillations of each ring
induces an image current on
split outer electrodes
• Multiple ions in the Orbitrap
generate a complex signal
whose frequencies are
determined using a Fourier
Transformation
• Lighter ions enter Orbitrap earlier therefore they are squeezed closer to the central electrode than
heavier ions
• An image current transient of these oscillations is converted to a frequency spectrum
using a Fourier transform similar to the approach used in FTICR
• eFT: enhanced FT transformation algorithm for high resolution at the same transient time
& Higher Resolution in shorter detection time
