      This educational film explains how mass spectrometers identify elements in compounds using the different masses of atoms to distinguish between the elements. It also introduces different kinds of mass spectrometers, used for different purposes.

      This particular version of Analysis by Mass in the Science History Institute archives is a VHS videocassette tape that was made from an earlier film version.
