A commercially available design of an electrospray deposition apparatus was optimized for cleaner and more controllable deposition in a high vacuum. The apparatus consists of a series of 5 differentially pumped chambers separated by skimmer cones or apertures. An angle-adjustable bellow was introduced between the second and third pumping chamber for better control over the alignment and, consequently, the ion beam flux reaching the final stage. Monitoring the flux/alignment was done by current measurements around the apertures and behind the last one with a conductive probe. Also, heating of the transfer capillary and enclosing the emitter-transfer capillary interface in a small transparent chamber (to allow different ambient gas environments) were introduced. The first depositions were done to test the performance of the improved design with some well-studied molecules.
