Ions that are transported from an ion source to a mass spectrometer for mass analysis are often accompanied by background particles such as photons, neutral species, and cluster or aerosol ions which originate in the ion source. Background particles are also produced by scattering and neutralization of ions during collisions with background gas molecules in higher pressure regions with line-of-sight to the mass spectrometer detector. In either case, such background particles produce noise in mass spectra. Apparatus and methods are provided in which a multipole ion guide is configured to efficiently transport ions through multiple vacuum stages, while preventing background particles, produced both in the ion source and along the ion transport pathway, from reaching the detector, thereby improving signal-to-noise in mass spectra.

When the drum axis of a photosensitive drum cartridge is engaged with an image forming apparatus, the developing roller axis of a developing cartridge is engaged with an engagement provided in the photosensitive drum cartridge. Then, after this, a positioning component of the developing cartridge engages with a developing cartridge engagement structure of the image forming apparatus, and the developing cartridge is thus positioned relative to the image forming apparatus. In addition, because an inhibiting device of the photosensitive drum cartridge and an inhibiting protrusion component of the developing cartridge are engaged, the photosensitive drum cartridge is positioned in the image forming apparatus via the developing cartridge. Because the developing cartridge may be positioned in the image forming apparatus without involving the photosensitive drum cartridge, the paper transport pathway space that is formed by the developing cartridge and the image forming apparatus is less likely to become disrupted.
