| Rectilinear ion trap | 
|---|
| Quadrupole ion trap whose electrodes form a rectilinear polygon, the simplest form of which consists of two pairs of rectangular electrodes supplied with radio frequency (RF) potentials and a pair of electrodes to which a DC potential is applied. Slits or apertures in the electrodes allow injection and ejection of charged particles. |
