Abstract

The provision of a new method for analyzing organic molecules such as protein and endocrine disrupting chemicals with excellent sensitivity. A secondary ion mass spectrometry method using a heavy ion beam as a primary ion beam enables the detection of, for example, an organism-related material at the sub-amol level with high sensitivity. As a result, favorable imaging of an organism-related sample can be performed.
