PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method for shortening time required to screen ions by simplifying control and adjustment of an ion screening waveform, in an ion storage device. SOLUTION: An ion screening electric field produced in proportion of the product of an ion screening waveform obtained by repetition of a waveform with a fixed magnitude and a constant pattern and a continuously changing magnitude signal waveform is impressed on the ion storage space of this ion storage device, and thereby ions in a range of a specific mass/charge ratio are screened. The continuously changing magnitude waveform is a wave the magnitude of which increases as time elapses. The ion screening waveform obtained by repetition of the waveform with the fixed pattern is produced by a FNF (Filtered Noise Field) method and a SWIFT (Stored Wave Inverse Fourier Transform) method. In addition, in the waveform with the constant pattern, the strength of a frequency component apart from the frequency by which the ions within the range of the specific mass/charge ratio oscillates is strengthened.

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To make it easy to align a specimen to be scanned with its area, to make it easy to bring a probe safely and quickly close to the surface of the specimen, and to make it easy to rapidly scan the specimen. SOLUTION: A vibrator is actuated all over a frequency range. The amplitude of an electric current is determined all over the frequency range. A frequency is selected from a current-vs.-frequency curve. An optical microscope is used to position the probe connected to the vibrator at an area on the surface of the specimen to be scanned. The probe is moved toward the specimen as the vibrator vibrates the probe. Further, an acoustic frequency generated by the vibrator is detected when the vibrating probe is moved to approximately within 100 nanometers of the specimen. An atomic force interaction is detected when the probe is moved to the vicinity of the specimen. The specimen is scanned after the presence of the probe is detected in the vicinity of the specimen.

SOLUTION: A main control part 51 controls a movable beam (a) so that the passing position thereof is at the center position of the gap between a sensor SK and a sensor SJ, and measures a differential output of a sensor SP and a sensor SO, but then the main control part 51 measures a differential output of the sensor SP and the sensor SO at any time while driving the movable beam (a) to the center position of the gap between the sensor SK and the sensor SJ, and similarly controls the movable beam so as to be at the center position between the sensor SJ and the sensor SI.
