Special course for pre-graduate and graduate students. In an introductory part the students are familiarized with fundamental construction schemes of mass-spectrometer. The survey of mass spectrometric instrumentation used at present is given. The following part is aimed at the interpretation of electron impact mass-spectra of organic comounds. The fundamentals of ion fragmentation are discussed. Theoretical considerations are accompanied with the examples of real mass-spectra and the explanation of important fragmentation pathways.
