Abstract

Mass spectrometry imaging (MSI) is a powerful imaging technique for visualizing the spatial distribution of chemical components in samples, from inorganic and organic materials to biological tissues and single cells. Contrary to other imaging techniques such as immunohistochemical imaging, chemical staining, and fluorescence microscopy, MSI is a label-free technique and enables monitoring thousands of compounds in a single experiment. Owing to its unique characteristics, especially the non-targeted detection, high chemical specificity, and high accuracy for structural elucidation, MSI has been rapidly and continuously developed to meet the expectations and needs of various research areas.
