What is the limiting factor for resolution?

0

Most of the time resolution is limited by Coulombic interactions between ions, because a too large number of ions are trapped, giving rise to space charge effects. Another factor which limits resolution is the electrostatic trapping potential, which should therefore be as low as possible; i.e. < 1V.
