Abstract
Most researchers, who are currently involved in the field of mass spectroscopy, think that the Mass Spectrometer is a “means” of accomplishing a research objective. In the 1950s when Prof. Matsuda started his research career, however, the mass spectrometer itself was the supreme “object” to be developed and established. He was confident that ion optics was a “means” to design and realize his objectives, and he devoted his early career in the development of the methodology of the 3rd-order ion optical calculations using the Matrix Method. With the establishment of the calculations, however, he found that the mass spectrometer itself turned into a “means.” In the 1970s and 1980s, he used the ion optics he established in the innovative design of mass spectrometers. These accomplishments turned out to be a major contribution to the development of mass spectrometry and to the formation of the society of mass spectroscopy. His method of ion optical calculations continues to be vital in designing beam transportation systems, as well as various types of spectrometers.
