Abstract:
A mass spectrometer using near infrared (NIR) fluorescence can comprise: a plate formed such that a sample, which includes a matrix for ionization and a fluorescent material having an excitation wavelength of an NIR wavelength band, is loaded thereon; a fluorescence detection unit formed so as to acquire a fluorescence image by using the fluorescent material from the sample on the plate; a light emission unit formed so as to emit a laser beam for ionization at the sample on the plate; and an ion detection unit formed so as to detect, by using the laser beam, ions generated from the sample. By using the NIR fluorescence, fluorescence interference due to a matrix used for MALDI imaging can be excluded even after coating the matrix, and since fluorescence interference due to auto-fluorescence inside tissue is low, fluorescence can be measured even for a thick sample.

Claim (Index 11):
The mass spectrometry using NIR fluorescence according to  claim 10 ,\n wherein the acquiring the fluorescence image from the first surface of the plate comprises acquiring the fluorescence image through an optically transparent region provided in the first surface of the plate.
