A mass spectrometer is an instrument that measures the masses of individual molecules that have been converted into ions, i.e., molecules that have been electrically charged. ... a mass spectrometer does not actually measure the molecular mass directly, but rather the mass-to-charge ratio of the ions formed from the molecules. 3, record 1, English, - mass%20spectrometer

Un spectromètre de masse [...] est un instrument couramment utilisé en chimie analytique et qui a pour fonction de mesurer le ratio masse sur charge(m/z) de molécules chargées. [...] on peut diviser un spectromètre de masse en trois éléments : une source d’ions, un analyseur permettant d’évaluer le m/z des ions et un détecteur permettant de quantifier ces ions. Le [spectromètre de masse] permet donc d’obtenir minimalement une information qualitative(c.-à-d. le m/z de l'ion atteignant le détecteur) et une information quantitative(c.-à-d. le nombre d’ions atteignant le détecteur). 2, record 1, French, - spectrom%C3%A8tre%20de%20masse
