Claims

1. In a mass spectrometer having a vacuum chamber and a mass separation means disposed within the vacuum chamber, Multiple stepped portions formed on the inner surface of the vacuum chamber, It has a base that is placed directly on the stepped portion and is positioned across the stepped portion, At least a portion of the contact surface between the mounting surface of the stepped portion and the mounting surface of the base portion is set to be relatively movable. A mass spectrometer in which all or part of the mass separation means is supported by a support means fixed to the base.

2. A mass spectrometer according to claim 1, wherein at least a portion of the means for fixing the stepped portion and the base portion is set such that at least a portion of the contact surface between the mounting surface of the stepped portion and the mounting surface of the base portion is relatively movable.

3. A mass spectrometer according to claim 1 or 2, wherein a plurality of bases are provided, and spacers are arranged between each base to maintain the relative position of each base.

4. A mass spectrometer according to claim 1 or 2, wherein the mass separation means is a multi-turn time-of-flight mass separator.

5. A mass spectrometer according to claim 1 or 2, wherein an ion source and an ion trap means are arranged prior to the mass separation means.

6. A mass spectrometer according to claim 1 or 2, wherein a matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization ion source is arranged prior to the mass separation means.
