Imaging Mass Spectrometry with Secondary Ion Mass Spectrometry and Related Techniques
Recently, Imaging Mass Spectrometry (IMS) has been widely performed for the analysis of synthetic polymers, functional organic devices and biological materials, because not only the spatial distribution of target molecules but also the structural information can be given by obtained mass images and mass spectra. There are some techniques used, such as Matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization (MALDI) mass spectrometry, Desorption Electrospray Ionization (DESI) mass spectrometry and Secondary ion mass spectrometry (SIMS). In this study, the possibilities and limitations of IIMS with SIMS and the related techniques were investigated using some organic model samples.
