Ionization occurs by charge transfer between the ions and the sample or by protonation from the matrix material (Figure 2.3.4 2.3. 4 ). Both solid and liquid samples may be analyzed. A unique aspect of these techniques for analysis of solids is the ability to do depth profiling because of the destructive nature of the ionization technique.

Thomson's early work on cathode rays laid the foundation of the MS field. Ultimately, Thomson, with the help of his protégé Francis Aston (who would go on to win his own Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 1922 ), built what later would be recognized as the first mass spectrometer to measure the masses of charged atoms.
