Why is it not possible to use multiple detectors in a Bainbridge Mass spectrometer,so that we can record the intensity of each ionic species at the same time?
I got this question because whenever i read about Time of flight mass spectrometer,i find that one of its advantages is listed as the ability to record the spectrum of all the ionic species in the experiment, which is not possible in sector instruments(other mass spectrometers).
