Abstract
In the mass spectrometric analysis of organic compounds, it is necessary to obtain high resolution mass spectra, high sensitivity, simultaneous detection of standards and samples in order to be able to measure the exact mass, and so on. Photographic plate detection is more effective than electrical detection in respect of the above requirements. This is due to its inherent simultaneous and integrating detection properties plus such factors as ease of multi-recording, obtainability of high resolution and sensitivity over the complete mass range, and simplicity of mass measurement. In this paper, the above features in respect of photographic plate detection are described and substantiated with their experimental results.
