| 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. |
