Abstract

A sample mounting plate has: a substrate made of alumina ceramic which exhibits white; and a cover layer which is laminated so as to cover the front surface of the substrate and which has multiple grooves formed in some areas. The cover layer has: a conductive interference layer which exhibits conductivity and is configured so as to exhibit a prescribed color (such as navy blue) through light interference and which is laminated on the substrate; and a water-repellent layer which exhibits higher water repellency than that of the substrate and is laminated on at least a part of the conductive interference layer and on which a sample is to be mounted.

Claims (21)

1. A sample mounting plate comprising:

a substrate that has an insulation property;

a conductive interference layer that has conductivity and exhibits a color different from the substrate with optical interference, and is laminated on the substrate; and

a water-repellent layer that has water repellency higher than water repellency of the substrate, and is laminated on at least part of the conductive interference layer,

wherein a sample to become an object of ionization in mass spectrometry is mounted on at least one of the conductive interference layer and the water-repellent layer.

2. The sample mounting plate according to claim 1 , wherein the substrate is configured with ceramic.

3. The sample mounting plate according to claim 1 , wherein, in the water-repellent layer and the conductive interference layer, a mounting region for mounting the sample is provided with formation of a groove heading from a side on which the sample is mounted toward the substrate side.

4. The sample mounting plate according to claim 3 , wherein the substrate is exposed at a bottom portion of the groove formed in the water-repellent layer and the conductive interference layer.

5. The sample mounting plate according to claim 1 , wherein the conductive interference layer is configured by laminating a metal layer configured with a metal material and a transparent layer configured with a material that is transparent in a visible region.

6. The sample mounting plate according to claim 5 , wherein the transparent layer is configured with a metal compound.

7. A sample mounting plate comprising:

a substrate that has an insulation property; and

a mounting layer that has conductivity and exhibits a color different from the substrate, the mounting layer being laminated on the substrate and on which a sample to become an object of ionization in mass spectrometry is mounted,

wherein the mounting layer is configured by laminating a metal layer configured with a metal material and a transparent layer configured with a material that is transparent in a visible region.

8. The sample mounting layer according to claim 7 , wherein the substrate is configured with ceramic.

9. The sample mounting layer according to claim 7 , wherein the mounting layer includes a first metal layer as the metal layer laminated on the substrate, a first transparent layer as the transparent layer laminated on the first metal layer, a second metal layer as the metal layer laminated on the first transparent layer and a second transparent layer as the transparent layer laminated on the second metal layer.

10. The sample mounting layer according to claim 7 , wherein the transparent layer is configured with an inorganic material.

11. A sample mounting plate comprising:

a substrate that has an insulation property; and

a mounting layer that has conductivity and exhibits a color different from the substrate, the mounting layer being laminated on the substrate and on which a sample to become an object of ionization in mass spectrometry is mounted,

wherein the mounting layer further includes a water-repellent layer which has water repellency higher than water repellency of the substrate, and on which the sample is mounted.
