Generation of three-dimensional images in mass spectrometry
The subject-matter of the invention at hand is the laterally resolved, three-dimensional mass spectrometric imaging. The sample to be analysed is located on a piezo scanning table with which the sample is moved in small, well-defined steps, first in the x,y-plane and later in the z-dimension. The sample is scanned with a highly focused laser beam, and released ions are detected by a Time-of-Flight mass spectrometer.
