PHYSICALLY GUIDED RAPID EVAPORATIVE IONISATION MASS SPECTROMETRY (REIMS)

摘要

A method is disclosed comprising obtaining physical or other non-mass spectrometric data from one or more regions of a target using a probe (20). The physical or other non-mass spectrometric data may be used to determine one or more regions of interest of the target. An ambient ionisation ion source (1) may then used to generate an aerosol, smoke or vapour (5) from one or more regions of the target.
