It shall also be equipped with a high-field Orbitrap mass spectrometer with a mass resolving power of >240,000 at m/z 200 and a mass accuracy of ~ 1 ppm. The instrument shall be equipped with 3 primary ion beams which are optimal for different materials systems. (1) A 20 kV gas cluster ion source with a spatial resolution < 2 um used for biological imaging and depth-profiling of organic materials, (2) a low energy (250 eV to 2000 eV) dual source (Cs and O2) sputter beam with high-current (>50 nA at 500 eV with a spatial resolution < 40 um) for depth profiling of semiconductor samples and (3) a 30 kV high-resolution Bi nanoprobe with a spatial resolution < 50 nm. The instrument shall be able to operate with either the ToF analyser or the Orbitrap analyser or a combination of the two as described in the Nat. Methods paper.

A number of features of the OrbiSIMS instrument are protected by international patents. Unique features of the OrbiSIMS instrument include: 1. Imaging of biomolecules from tissue using a gas cluster ion beam with a spatial resolution of < 2 um simultaneously with a mass resolving power of > 240,000 at m/z 200. 2. Depth resolution of < 10 nm of organic molecules in an organic multilayer reference sample simultaneously with a mass resolving power of > 240,000 at m/z 200. 3. Depth resolution of < 2 nm of ions in an inorganic semiconductor delta-layer reference sample simultaneously with a mass resolving power of > 240,000 at m/z 200. 4.
