Field Ionisation (FI) and Field Desorption (FD) were pioneered by H D Beckey in the late 1960’s as ionisation techniques that offered significant advantages over then current methods. The heart of the system is an emitter that has dendrites (cf conifers/evergreens) on it which have extremely small radii on their tips. These dendrites allow very high electric field strengths to be applied to a molecule.
