"Mass spectrograph" and "mass spectroscope" are sometimes used as synonyms of "mass spectrometer". "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.  5, record 1, English, - mass%20spectrometer

Quadrupole ICP-MS [inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry] is currently the method of choice for laser-ablation applications since sector-field instruments are generally considered too slow for the acquisition of rapidly varying signals. However, the new generation of double-focusing sector-field mass spectrometers is capable of rapidly scanning the mass spectrum both magnetically and electrostatically, and the combination of these two scan modes approaches the performance of quadrupoles for most practical applications. ... The capability of the adopted configuration to furnish high-quality in situ trace-element analysis of minerals and U-Pb geochronological data is described.  2, record 2, English, - sector%20field%20mass%20spectrometer

Les appareils ICP-MS [inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry] munis d’un quadrupole sont préférés de nos jours dans les applications faisant appel à l’ablation au laser (LA), parce que les appareils à secteurs partagés sont généralement considérés trop lents dans l’acquisition de signaux qui varient rapidement. Toutefois, avec la nouvelle génération de spectromètres de masse à secteurs partagés et à double foyer, nous sommes capables de balayer rapidement le spectre des masses à la fois selon les propriétés magnétiques et électrostatiques. La combinaison des deux modes de balayage se rapproche des quadrupoles en performance dans la plupart des applications pratiques. [...] Nous documentons la capacité du système configuré ainsi à effectuer des analyses de minéraux in situ de haute qualité pour les éléments traces, y compris pour les applications géochronologiques utilisant le système U-Pb.  3, record 2, French, - spectrom%C3%A8tre%20de%20masse%20%C3%A0%20secteur%20magn%C3%A9tique

A tandem mass spectrometer can be thought of as two mass spectrometers in series connected by a chamber that can break a molecule into pieces perhaps like a puzzle. This chamber is known as a collision cell. A sample is "sorted" and "weighed" in the first mass spectrometer, then broken into pieces in the collision cell, and a piece or pieces sorted and weighed in the second mass spectrometer.  1, record 3, English, - tandem%20mass%20spectrometer

A tandem mass spectrometer is often abbreviated as Tandem MS or MS/MS. Sometimes you will also notice the abbreviation ESI (electrospray), FAB (fast atom bombardment) and LSI (liquid secondary ion) before the tandem MS. These terms indicate the way the compound is placed into the tandem mass spectrometer.  1, record 3, English, - tandem%20mass%20spectrometer
