<p><b>Time of flight</b> (<b>ToF</b>) is the measurement of the time taken by an object, particle or wave (be it acoustic, electromagnetic, etc.) to travel a distance through a medium. This information can then be used to measure velocity or path length, or as a way to learn about the particle or medium's properties (such as composition or flow rate). The traveling object may be detected directly (direct time of flight, <b>dToF</b>, e.g., via an ion detector in mass spectrometry) or indirectly (indirect time of flight, <b>iToF</b>, e.g., by light</p><p>
