Annotation:
A History of Mass Spectrometry is intended to be a dynamic, interactive record of significant events in the evolution of this science. The site includes timelines, introductory essays, links to or brief biographies of significant mass spectrometry theorists like John Dalton and J.J. Thomson, and most significantly full texts and abstracts of key documents in this history of mass spectrometry. J.J. Thomson's essay "On the Masses of the Ions in Gases at Low Pressures," published in the December 1999 issue of Philosophical Magazine is included here for example, as is F.W. Austin's "Isotopes and Atomic Weights" (Nature, 1920).
