Ok
So for school I am doing a project on mass spectrometers and I am aware of the fact that there are time of flight, sector, and quadropole mass specs. and I know how they work but what I want to know is why are there three different types? What are the advantages and disadavantages to a tof mass spec. versus a sector mass spec. versus a quadropole mass spec. ? I tried looking at the wiki article on mass spec. but it didn't have this info. Tried a google search but it links to papers that talk about some new fancy method of doing mass spec. and don't explain this basic question. So now I call out to the power of the internet and you frequency physics forums readers to help me answer this preplexing question.
Thanks
