1. A method for acquiring information on an object in a tissue of a living organism, comprising the steps of:
- applying a solution containing a digestive enzyme to decompose the object in the tissue specifically to a surface of the tissue so as to obtain the decomposed object;
irradiating the surface of the tissue with an ion beam to ionize the decomposed object after applying the solution containing the digestive enzyme to decompose the object in the tissue specifically; and
acquiring information on the mass of the decomposed object that ionizes using time-of-flight secondary ion mass spectrometry after irradiating the surface of the tissue with an ion beam.

Abstract
An information acquisition method for acquiring information on a target object, that includes a step of promoting ionization of the target object using a substance for promoting ionization of the target object to cause the target object to emit, and a step of acquiring information on the mass of the flew target object using time-of-flight secondary ion mass spectrometry.
