Abstract

Image blurring of a mass spectrum image obtained by the signal intensity for each mass/charge ratio from the obtained two-dimensional mass spectrum is reduced by image restoration using a blurring function. The blurring function expresses a two dimensional distribution of transferred energy related to the distance from a point of primary ion incidence limited by a region exceeding desorption energy of a molecule.
