A segmented blade Paul trap will be used for trapping the ions. The mechanical design is made
in Autodesk Inventor software (Figure 1 & 2). This comprises four blades (two DC blades and two RF blades). Each blade is segmented into 5 parts along the trap axis. Ions can be confined along the trap axis by giving different DC voltages to each segment of the DC blade. Two RF blades will be driven at some RF voltage to radially confine the ions.
