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 8):
The ionization device according to  claim 1 , wherein a gas-phase ion formed by a dielectric barrier discharge is ionized through a reaction with a gas phase sample molecule generated from the sample microparticles.
