Abstract: An ion source is provided with a push-out electrode, a pull-out electrode, and a pull-in electrode all for ionizing a sample and accelerating generated ions in a pulsed manner, wherein the push-out electrode and/or the pull-in electrode has a curved surface shape having a depression curved in the direction opposite to the direction of travel of the ions. As a result, a compact ion source capable of temporally and spatially focusing ions and outputting the ions, and a compact time-of-flight mass spectroscope with good detection resolution and detection sensitivity which is provided with the compact ion source can be provided.

Abstract: Provided is a small-sized mass analysis system capable of analyzing an analysis target system being under atmospheric pressure. The mass analysis system (7) has a cyclone separator (1) including a hollow shaft motor (19) for rotationally driving a turbo blade (17). Combining a mass analysis device with the cyclone separator makes it possible to remove dust and introduce into the mass analysis device a gas present in a region where the pressure in the cyclone separator is sufficiently reduced.
Abstract: A distance measuring apparatus comprises: an edge specifying part 101 for specifying the edge of a probe 6 in a secondary portrait appearing on the surface of a work 9 and an image of the probe 6; a straight line inserting part 102 for inserting a straight line along the outer edge of the secondary portrait onto an image, and an overlap determining part 103 for determining an overlap of the edge and the straight line, wherein one or more LED lamps 7, and calculating part for calculating the distance wherein the imaging device and the probe 6 are movably held integrally for the surface of the work 9.
