    摘要: One virtual rod electrode is composed by a plurality of electrode plane plates arranged in the ion optical axis direction, and four virtual rod electrodes are arranged around the ion optical axis to form a virtual quadrupole rod type ion transport optical system (30). In one virtual rod electrode, the interval between the adjacent electrode plane plates is set to be large in the anterior area (30A) and small in the posterior area (30B). As the interval between electrodes becomes larger, high-order multipole field components increase and therefore the ion acceptance is increased, which enables an efficient acceptance of ions coming from the previous stage. On the other hand, if the interval between electrodes is small, the quadrupole field components relatively increase and the ion beam's convergence is improved. Therefore, ions can be effectively introduced into a quadrupole mass filter for example in the subsequent stage, which contributes to the enhancement of the mass analysis' sensitivity and accuracy.

    摘要: A mass spectrometer is provided in which ions are favorably introduced into a loop orbit or favorably led out from the loop orbit without affecting the motion of the ions flying along the loop orbit. An ion-introduction orbit 5 is set to correspond to the orbit (ejection orbit portion 4) of ions after being bent by the sector-shaped electric field E1 in the loop orbit 4. When ions are introduced, a voltage applied to the electrode unit 11 is put to zero to release the sector-shaped electric field E1. Then the ions emitted along the ion-introduction orbit 5 fly straight in the electrode unit 11. The direction and position of the ions coming out from the exit end of the electric field is the same as those ions flying along the loop orbit 4. Therefore, there is no need for placing a deflection electrode for introducing/leading-out ions on the loop orbit.

    摘要: One virtual rod electrode (11) is composed by arraying a plurality of plate electrodes (111, . . . , 118) along an ion beam axis, and a quadrupole ion optical element (1) is constructed by arranging four virtual rod electrodes (11, 12, 13 and 14) around an ion beam axis C. A voltage-applying unit alternately applies two radio-frequency voltages having a phase difference of 180 degrees for each of the plate electrodes in one virtual rod electrode. By this voltage application, the quadrupole component of the radio-frequency electric field created within a space surrounded by the four virtual rod electrodes is decreased, while higher-order multipole components are increased. The quadrupole component yields high ion convergence and mass selectivity, while the higher-order components provide high ion transmission efficiency and ion acceptance. The general ion transport efficiency can be improved by appropriately adjusting the ion optical characteristics according to the installation environment of the ion optical system and the conditions before and after the ion optical system.

    摘要: Provided is a time-of-flight mass spectrometer having a reflectron which eliminates energy dependency of the flight time of ions having the same m/z while ensuring a high degree of design freedom. An electric field created by the reflectron is virtually divided into a decelerating region for decelerating ions and a reflecting region for reflecting ions. For an ion having a mass-to-charge ratio which has departed with initial energy higher than Ud, the total flight time required for the ion to travel through a free-flight region and the decelerating region into the reflecting region and return will be equal to the total flight time required for an ion of the same mass-to-charge ratio to make a round trip in which the ion turns around at a point of the reference potential value at the boundary between the decelerating region and the reflecting region or in the decelerating region.

    摘要: A measurement is performed in a no-passing mode, in which ions having different masses are prevented from making a complete turn through a loop orbit, to obtain a time-of-flight spectrum without the passing of ions having different masses (S1 and S2). From the time of flight and other information of the peaks appearing on the time-of-flight spectrum (S3), the number of turns and the time of flight in the loop-turn mode are predicted. Based on this prediction, a set of segments are defined on a time-of-flight spectrum in the loop-turn mode. The time widths of those segments are determined taking into account the spreads of the time widths of the aforementioned peaks. Since the number of turns is unique within each segment, the numbers of turns and the masses of the peaks can be uniquely determined as long as none of the segments overlap each other. Accordingly, it is determined whether there is any overlapped portion in the segments defined on the time-of-flight spectrum in the loop-turn mode under provisionally predetermined conditions. When a condition under which no overlapping occurs has been found, the segment setting is fixed (S4-S6). As a result, the timing for switching an ejection switch, which is used for ejecting ions from the loop orbit, is also determined. Based on this timing, a measurement in the loop-turn mode is performed (S7).
