  • Patent number: 9721773
    Abstract: This mass spectrometric device is provided with a sample container (8) for placing a measurement sample (12) therein, a detector (9) analyzing the mass of a sample and detecting a drug, or the like, in the sample, a dielectric container (3) linked to the sample container for running a discharge current into air to provoke ionization, a valve (2) for sending air intermittently to the sample container, the dielectric container and the detector, a barrier discharge high-voltage power source (6) to be discharged by the dielectric container, a current detection unit (5) connected to the barrier discharge high-voltage power source for detecting a discharge current (28), a discharge-start timing detection unit (7) connected to the current detection unit for detecting the discharge-start timing based on the current detection result from the current detection unit to send a discharge-start timing signal (17), and a control unit (11) for controlling each constituent.

  • Patent number: 8338781
    Abstract: In a method of scanning a charged particle beam which can position the scan position to a proper location inside a deflectable range of the scan position of charged particle beam, the scan position of charged particle beam is deflected to a plurality of target objects inside a scan position deflectable region and on the basis of a shift of a target object at a scan location after deflection, the deflection amount at the scan location is corrected.
