The simulation is written in HTML5/JS. This means that all of the computation is done in browser. This approach was selected because there are no downloads, softwares, or tools that the end-user needs. The simulation should just work (fingers crossed)!

I have designed a linear ion trap that works at atmospheric pressure with high mass particles. The device uses a laser stroboscope to allow ion trajectories to be seen by eye and by a dedicated digital microscope. There is a project page about this ion trap.
