"Mass spectrometer" and "mass spectroscope" are sometimes used as synonyms of "mass spectrograph". "Mass spectrometer" and "mass spectrograph" differ only in the way in which the charged particles are detected: electrically in the case of the spectrometer and by photographic or non electrical means in the case of the spectrograph. As for "mass spectroscope" it is a generic. 3, record 4, English, - mass%20spectrograph

«Spectromètre de masse» est souvent employé comme synonyme de «spectrographe de masse». Les deux appareils mesurent la même chose mais le «spectrographe de masse» produit un enregistrement sur plaque photographique alors que les résultats du «spectromètre de masse» ne s’obtiennent que par vision directe. 3, record 4, French, - spectrographe%20de%20masse
