Seit über 50 Jahren gehört die Massenspektrometrie zu den wichtigsten analytischen Methoden. Neben einem technologiehistorischen Überblick konzentriert sich dieser Band auf die Analytik von Metallen und Elementen. Beschrieben werden Anwendungen aus der Meteorologie, Kerntechnik, Astrochemie, Geowissenschaft und Umwelttechnik. Dabei wird auf zahlreiche spezielle Verfahren eingegangen, u.a. auf die Sektorfeld- und die Sekundärionen-MS, auf induktiv gekoppelte Plasmen und beschleunigergestützte MS. Erläutert werden auch Isotopenverfahren zur Altersbestimmung von Proben.

Summary
Mass spectrometry is a powerful analytical technique used to identify unknown compounds, to quantify known materials, and to elucidate the structural and chemical properties of molecules. Inorganic mass spectrometry focuses on the analysis of metals and elements rather than organic compounds.
