Abstract
An orthogonal acceleration time-of-flight mass spectrometer includes: a first vacuum chamber and a second vacuum chamber; an insulating spacer member; a former-stage-side ring electrode; subsequent-stage-side ring electrodes; a first fixation member including a first displacement member to displace a central axis of the former-stage-side ring electrode and the subsequent-stage-side ring electrodes in a predetermined direction orthogonal to the central axis by thermal expansion; and a second fixation member including a second displacement member to displace the central axis in the predetermined direction orthogonal to the central axis by thermal expansion, a difference between a thermal expansion amount of the first displacement member per unit temperature and a thermal expansion amount of the second displacement member per unit temperature being 30% or less of the thermal expansion amount of the first displacement member.
