Abstract

A secondary ion mass spectrometry apparatus for analyzing an element contained in the sample by radiating a primary ion beam extracted from an ion source to an analytical sample through a focusing system. The secondary ion mass spectrometry apparatus comprises an input unit for inputting data containing analytical elements names and areas, a storage unit for storing operational expressions to be operated on the input data from the input unit and a table to be reference on the input data and the results operated by the operational expressions and from which the necessary data is read, and a control unit for setting focusing conditions of said focusing system using the input data inputted from said input unit and the operational expressions and tables stored in the storage unit.
