PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an apparatus by which the distribution of a deposit or an adsorbed gas is measured precisely, simply and quickly without damaging a material to be measured and to provide a method in which the distribution is measured precisely, simply and quickly. SOLUTION: A holding device 7, which holds a material 6 to be measured so as to be freely movable, is installed inside an airtight measuring chamber 1, in which a vacuum evacuation means and a gas-amount measuring means such as a mass spectrometer or the like are provided. A laser light source 9, which irradiates the surface of the material 6 to be measured, is installed outside the measuring chamber 1. By using this measuring apparatus, the material 6 to be measured is irradiated intermittently with a laser beam while an irradiation position to the material 6, to be measured, from the laser light source 9 is being changed. A change in a pressure inside the measuring chamber until the next irradiation of the laser beam from its irradiation is measured by the gas-amount measuring means.
