Abstract

The present invention relates to an ultraviolet diode and an atomic mass analysis ionization source collecting device using an MCP. In the manufacturing of a portable atomic mass analyzer, an object of the present invention is to use an MCP electron multiplier plate, whereby ultraviolet photons emitted from an ultraviolet diode are irradiated on a front surface plate of the MCP electron multiplier plate to induce primary electrons, an amplified electron beam is collected from the electrons, and an electron beam is generated at a low temperature and low power and having a discharge time that is accurately controlled. The atomic mass analysis ionization source collecting device using an ultraviolet diode and an MCP according to the present invention comprises: an ultraviolet diode emitting ultraviolet rays by means of supplied power; an MCP electron multiplier plate inducing and amplifying primary electron discharge from ultraviolet photons from the ultraviolet diode, and collecting a large amount of electron beams from an MCP reverse surface plate; an electron condenser lens condensing the electron beam amplified through the MCP electron multiplier plate; an ion trap atomic mass sep…
