Abstract
An orthogonal acceleration electrode () deflects the flight direction of ions incident from an ion source (). A flight-path-defining electrode () defines a flight path of the deflected ions. An ion detection section () detects an ion after the flight of the ion through the flight path. A voltage application section () applies voltages to the orthogonal acceleration electrode and flight-path-defining electrode. A measurement control section () acquires mass spectrum data by conducting a measurement of a known ion generated from a predetermined amount of known sample, under a plurality of measurement conditions which differ from each other in the value of the voltage applied to the orthogonal acceleration electrode. A score-value calculation section () calculates a score value based on a predetermined calculation formula, using the intensity of a mass peak and the mass-resolving power in the mass spectrum data acquired under each of the measurement conditions.
