Abstract:
In order to implement a high-sensitivity mass spectrometry through an improvement in solvent removal efficiency during electrospray ionization and the like, an ionization device is provided with a light guide path  28  which guides light from a light source to sample microparticles generated by a micronization device to irradiate the microparticles. A closest distance d 2  between a spatial area  34  in which the sample microparticles are present and a distal end  29  of the light guide path is greater than or equal to 0.1 mm and less than or equal to 20 mm. A closest distance d 1  between an area of light irradiation  35  by the light guide path and any of a sample surface, a micronization device, and a sample holding unit that is the closest is greater than or equal to 0.01 mm and less than or equal to 10 mm.

Claim (Index 1):
An ionization device for ionization of a substance, the ionization device comprising:\n a sample holding unit that holds a sample including a target substance; a micronization device that turns the sample being held by the sample holding unit into sample microparticles; a light source; and a light guide path that guides light from the light source to the sample microparticles generated by the micronization device to irradiate the sample microparticles, wherein a closest distance between a spatial area in which the sample microparticles are present and a distal end of the light guide path is greater than or equal to 0.1 mm and less than or equal to 20 mm, and a closest distance between an area of light irradiation by the light guide path and any of a surface of the sample, the micronization device, and the sample holding unit that is the closest is greater than or equal to 0.01 mm and less than or equal to 10 mm.
