How does Faraday cup detector work in mass spectrometry?(short )
Accepted Answer
A Faraday cup detector in mass spectrometry measures the ion current. It's a metal cup that captures ions, and the resulting charge buildup is measured as a current. This current is directly proportional to the number of ions hitting the cup, providing quantitative information about the abundance of each ion.
