Conversion Dynode
The conversion dynode is a concave metal surface located at a right angle to the ion beam. A
potential of +10 kV for negative ion detection or -10 kV for positive ion detection is applied
to the conversion dynode.
The conversion dynode increases signal and decreases noise. High voltage applied to the
conversion dynode results in a high conversion efficiency and increased signal. That is, for
each ion striking the conversion dynode, many secondary particles are produced. The increase
in conversion efficiency is more pronounced for more massive ions than for less massive ions.
Figure 103.
ETP Conversion Dynode
When an ion strikes the surface of the conversion dynode, one or more secondary particles are
produced. These secondary particles can include positive ions, negative ions, protons,
electrons, and neutrals. When positive ions strike a negatively charged conversion dynode, the
secondary particles are negative ions and electrons. When negative ions strike a positively
charged conversion dynode, the secondary particles are positive ions and protons. These
secondary particles are focused by the curved surface of the conversion dynode and accelerated
toward the electron multiplier.
Because of the off-axis orientation of the ion detector assembly relative to the quadrupole
assembly, neutral molecules from the mass analyzer tend not to strike the conversion dynode
or electron multiplier. Thus, neutral noise is reduced.
