  • Patent number: 11387090
    Abstract: A constructed unit is fixed to a base by means of a plurality of support posts while being spaced from the base. The constructed unit includes an orthogonal acceleration unit. An incidence regulator unit is fixed to the base by a pair of support posts while being spaced from the base and the constructed unit. The incidence regulator unit includes, among others, a pair of blades that define a slit, and heaters for heating the pair of blades.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: January 20, 2021
    Date of Patent: July 12, 2022
    Assignee: JEOL Ltd.
    Inventors: Yoshihiko Miwa, Yasunori Nishimura, Keiko Kaneda, Shintarou Yamada, Yuta Nakaoka

  • Patent number: 7855359
    Abstract: A mass spectrometer is equipped with a MAILDI ion source facilitating both individual management of sample plates and mass calibration based on information about distortion in the sample plates. Also, sample plates adapted to be used in the MALDI ion source are provided. Identification information about each sample plate and information about distortion, i.e., topography, in the surface of the sample plate are engraved on the surface of the sample plate. These sets of information are also registered as an electronic file. During measurement, these sets of information are read by observation means and used for individual management of sample plates and mass calibration of mass spectra.
