		The relative atomic mass is measured with a mass spectrometer.
		Before 1961, the physical atomic mass unit was defined as 1/16 of the mass of one atom of oxygen-16, while the chemical atomic mass unit was defined as 1/16 of the average mass of an oxygen atom (taking the natural abundance of the different oxygen isotopes into account).
		Both units are slightly smaller than the unified atomic mass unit, which was adopted by the International Union of Pure and Applied Physics in 1960 and by the International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry in 1961.

		The atomic mass unit, also called the dalton after the chemist John Dalton, is a small unit of mass used to express atomic masses and molecular masses.
		Another reason the unit is used is that it is much easier to compare masses of atoms and molecules (determine relative masses) than to measure their absolute masses.

	Talk:M/z - Mass Spectrometry Terms
		Using the correct SI units (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/International_system_of_units), the mass/charge ratio sould be indicated in kg/C (kilograms/Coulombs).
		Instead the mass is indicated in the Atomic Mass Unit u and the charge is indicated in multiples of the elementary charge (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elementary_charge) e.
		Hence the correct labling of "mass spectra" would be m/q (u/e) where m is the symbol for mass, q the symbol for charge, u the unit of mass in atomic mass units (also called Dalton, Da), and e the unit of charge in elementary charge units.
