ElectroSpray Ionization for molecules deposition


Figure:a) Electrospray ionization (ESI) setup for the introduction of large organic molecules in UHV. b) ESI during operation. c) Scheme of the ESI setup with the different stages and pumping chambers (1 -7)

We Implemented an Electrospray Ionization (ESI) setup to our UHV microscope chambers to introduce via Electrospray Deposition (ESD) large organic molecules, in UHV. Our first studies concern the deposition of triply fused porphyrin on insulators surfaces.
