Plate 27 Portrait of Francis Aston (1877-1945) British physicist and Nobel Laureate. After WWl, Aston helped Thompson in his studies of the deflection of ions in magnetic fields. He went on to improve Thompson s apparatus, designing it so as to make all atoms of a given mass fall on the same part of a photographic plate. Working with neon, he found that two lines were isotopes. He repeated this with chlorine with similar results. The device, called the mass spectrometer, showed that most stable elements had isotopes. His work earned him the 1922 Nobel Prize for Chemistry, and introduced a powerful new analytical tool to science. See Mass Spectrometry, Historical Perspective.

For excellent perspectives on the historical developments in MS, readers are directed to several outstanding books and reviews, including the American Society for Mass Spectrometry s 50th anniversary book (Grayson, 2002). Similar to any other field, the field of MS is laced with several Nobel laureates, including the father of modern MS, J. J. Thomson ... 

Some good books, reviews, and historical perspectives of the field of secondary ion mass spectrometry have been published, including Secondary Ion Mass Spectrometry, proceedings of a workshop held at the National Bureau of Standards in Gaithersburg, Maryland, September 16—18,1974 [63]. The proceedings include... 

It is hoped that this book will provide historical perspective on analytical strategies in drug discovery and illustrate the widened scope of mass spectrometry applications. 

The two chapters that were selected for this topic one on GC-ion trap mass spectrometry, by SabUer and Fujii and the other by Schroder on LC-MS in environmental analysis give an excellent contribution to the application of GC-MS and LC-MS to environmental analysis. Both chapters include many practical aspects and examples in the environmental field and also cover the historical perspective of the techniques and show the perspective on ionisation and scanning modes. Advances achieved in GC-ion trap by the use of external ion sources and GC/MS/MS possi-bihties are discussed. The LC-MS chapter provides an overview of the first applications of LC/MS interfacing systems, such as moving belt, direct Uquid introduction (DLI) and particle beam (PB), and then on the more recent soft ionisation techniques, like thermospray and atmospheric pressure ionisation interfacing systems.
