A miniature time-of-flight mass spectrometer (TOF-MS) and method for increasing the collection efficiency of laser-desorbed ions in a miniature time-of-flight mass spectrometer (TOF-MS) is provided. The method provides a laser pulse generated by an ionization extraction device within the TOF-MS; mai...
