19th Century

1886
Eugen Goldstein [1] observes canal rays.
1898
Wilhelm Wien [2] demonstrates that canal rays can be deflected using strong electric and magnetic fields.

20th Century

1905
J. J. Thomson [3] begins his study of positive rays.[4]
1922
Francis Aston [5] is awarded the Nobel Prize in chemistry "for his discovery, by means of his mass spectrograph, of isotopes, in a large number of non-radioactive elements, and for his enunciation of the whole-number rule."

21st Century

2002
John Fenn [6] and Koichi Tanaka [7] are awarded one-quarter of the Nobel Prize in chemistry each "for the development of soft desorption ionisation methods ... for mass spectrometric analyses of biological macromolecules."
