(a) the time-lag focusing scheme developed by Wiley and McLaren to focus ions with different initial kinetic energies (ΔU0) and positions (Δs0) in the ion source, (b) the simplified initial condition in a MALDI experiment dominated by a kinetic energy spread, and (c) the location of ions of different masses following application of the delayed extraction pulse.
