Abstract
Membrane-inlet mass spectrometer (MIMS) is used to simultaneously monitor changes of the concentrations of gases with different molecular weights in the solution. It can be used to measure the gas exchanges during photosynthesis and respiration of algae and other aquatic primary producers.
