  "id": "MLC-T-CHM-006995",
  "term": "Mass spectrograph",
  "field": "Chemistry",
  "definition": "An instrument that separates ions according to their mass-to-charge ratio and records the resulting ion beams simultaneously on a photographic plate or other spatially resolved detector. It provides a permanent record of the mass spectrum. This device was historically used for precise mass measurements and isotope discovery.",
