Next-Generation Mass Spectrometry Imaging Created by iMScope™ QT Inheriting the concept of a mass spectrometer equipped with an optical microscope from the iMScope series, the iMScope QT is also Shimadzu's flagship model for MS imaging with a LCMS-Q-TOF. The iMScope QT boasts not only fusion with morphology studies but also excellent speed, sensitivity, and spatial resolution, clearing the way to next-generation mass spectrometry imaging. Total System for MS Imaging Analysis Mass spectrometry imaging is performed in three steps: pretreatment, data acquisition, and data analysis. At each step, the optimal approach accelerates research, while improving the reliability of the results. Features Combined Analysis Fusion of observations from an optical microscope with MS images (exclusive to Shimadzu) MS images can be obtained flexibly and matched to observation images, either the entire image area or detailed portions of it. Measurement Results for the Cerebellum with 5 μm Spatial Resolution Sample ：Whole mouse brain Matrix ：9-AA Measurement region ：662×595（393890pix） Measurement time: ：around 2.2 hours Measurement Results for Whole Brain Sections in Negative Mode Sample:Whole mouse brain Matrix ：9-AA Measurement region: ：1126×624（702624pix） Measurement time：around 6 hours Quantification and Distribution Obtain qualitative and quantitative information from LC-MS as well as position information from mass spectrometry imaging (MSI) with a single instrument. The combined system, which can perform LC-MS analysis in addition to MSI analysis, provides both distribution information and quantitative analysis.
