An Easy Method to Apply Matrix for MS Imaging
MS imaging with the iMScope allows matrices to be applied after detailed sample images are obtained under a microscope, without disturbing the positional information. While there are several methods that can be used to apply matrix, such as spraying, vapor deposition, or inkjet drop application, the way it is applied can have a significant effect on imaging results. The manual spraying method of applying matrix described below can be performed using simple equipment, but the proficiency level of the user can make a major difference in determining its success.
This report introduces two simple matrix spraying methods which can make a significant difference to the image result.
