ASMS TERMS AND DEFINITIONS POSTER ENTRY
Mass spectrometry

This is the study of mass spectra obtained by using a mass spectrometer. The term "mass spectroscopy" should be avoided, because this implies optical dispersion. Possible exceptions might be in the case of photoplate or various optical methods of detection.
