Zusammenfassung:To provide a long-life and low-cost ion source for a mass spectrometer that can maintain predetermined sensitivity without providing a power source for grid heating.SOLUTION: The ion source IS for a mass spectrometer according to the present invention, which analyzes a gas component in a test body, includes a filament 4 that emits thermoelectrons when energized, and a grid 5 with a cylindrical outline that draws thermoelectrons by a potential difference with the filament 4, and the grid 5 is made of a material whose thermal conductivity at 300K is 173 W/(m K) or more.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 1 【課題】グリッド加熱用の電源等を備えることなく、所定の感度を維持し得る高寿命かつ低コストの質量分析計用のイオン源を提供する。【解決手段】試験体内のガス成分を分析する、本発明の質量分析計用のイオン源ISは、通電により熱電子を放出するフィラメント4と、このフィラメント4との電位差で熱電子を引き込む、筒状の輪郭を持つグリッド5とを備え、グリッド5は、300Kでの熱伝導率が173W/(m・K)以上となる材料で構成されている。【選択図】図1
