More photographs and schematics make it easier to understand and provide valuable insights into the practical aspects of instrumentation and procedures.

Flow charts describe procedures and approaches to mass spectral interpretation and aid in decision making.

Bulleted enumerations offer a quick overview wherever several features, arguments, assumptions, or properties of a subject call for clear presentation.

Examples and notes now come with a short subheading that immediately conveys what this section is about. More examples, especially of methods and applications are given and some how-to-style paragraphs provide practical guidance.

Each chapter ends with a concise summary that is subdivided into compact sections highlighting the basics of the subject, its figures of merit, typical applications, and its role in current mass spectromety.
