Claim:
1. A method for analysis of a sample comprising: a temperature increasing step of increasing the temperature of a sample according to a predetermined temperature increasing program; a thermal analysis step of performing thermal analysis on the sample; a molecule ionization step of ionizing component molecules contained in gas evolved from the sample due to the temperature increase; and a molecular structure analysis step of dissociating any selected ion out of molecular ions obtained in the molecule ionization step to generate fragment ions corresponding to structural factors of the molecule, and analyzing the structure of the molecule on the basis of the fragment ions, wherein the thermal analysis step, the molecule ionization step and the molecular structure analysis step are executed in parallel to the temperature increasing step, wherein thermal analysis data obtained in the thermal analysis step and data obtained in the molecular structure analysis step are displayed on the same graph with temperature set as a common variable, and wherein in the thermal analysis step, a mass variation of the sample due to the temperature increase of the sample is analyzed, the mass variation is displayed on a graph, and with respect to data obtained in the molecular structure analysis step, a thermogram of each of the generated fragment ions is displayed on the same graph as the mass variation.
