Introduc<strong>to</strong>ry remarks<br />
• <strong>Introduction</strong> for physicists Focus on ion-optical definitions, and <strong>to</strong>ols that<br />
are useful for physicist working with spectrometers.<br />
• Light optics can hardly be discussed without lenses & optical instruments<br />
ion-optics requires knowledge <strong>of</strong> ion-optical elements.<br />
• <strong>An</strong>alogy between Light <strong>Optics</strong> and <strong>Ion</strong>-<strong>Optics</strong> is useful but limited.<br />
• <strong>Ion</strong>-optical & magnet design <strong>to</strong>ols needed <strong>to</strong> understand electro-magnet systems.<br />
<strong>Ion</strong>-optics is not even 100 years old and (still) less intuitive than optics developed<br />
since several hundred years<br />
