Mass spectrometry resulted from an endeavor to analyze gaseous ionic matter. The discovery of isotopes and the determination of their masses and relative abundances, i.e.,
isotope ratios
, were a direct result of the pioneering work of Thomson, Aston, Dempster, and many others [1,2]. Soon, the results of such measurements became the driving force for new discoveries in physics.
