Description MALDI mass spectrometry imaging (MALDI MSI) is one of the most rapidly evolving techniques in the field of mass spectrometry. This technique holds a great potential in biomarker discovery, drug distribution analysis and in biosciences generally. Hand in hand with new and more demanding applications a need of new high-throughput instrumentation arises. Though a 1 kHz lasers generation of mass spectrometers brought significant decrease of MSI time, a single high resolution image (10 000 pixels) acquisition can still consume many hours. Here we introduce an incorporation of a high speed scanning mirror redirecting the desorbing laser as a possible way to increase the MSI performance.
