1. A time-of-flight mass spectrometer comprising:

  • a) a first electrode which has a funnel shape; and

    b) a second electrode, placed adjacent to the first electrode and arranged in conjunction with the first electrode such that the axes of the electrodes are aligned and a flow of ions of the sample may pass through the first and second electrodes,wherein an end of the second electrode protrudes into a wide opening of the first electrode and wherein the time-of-flight tube has a longitudinal axis defining a deflected path with an acute angle between the deflected path and the flow of ions through the first and second electrodes.
