Mass Spectrometry Imaging
Mass spectrometry imaging (MSI) is a powerful tool for mapping the spatial distribution of biomolecules in a variety of samples. Functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) is an optical brain imaging technique that allows functional imaging of brain activity by monitoring blood oxygenation and blood volume in the pre-frontal cortex, and can even assess multiple cerebral cortex locations selectively.
Shimadzu offers a complete mass spectrometry imaging and brain imaging product lineup, including our flagship model for Q-TOF MS Imaging, the iMScope QT Imaging Mass Microscope, the iMLayer AERO automatic sprayer for MALDI imaging for easily obtaining images with high sensitivity and spatial resolution, and the LABNIRS and LIGHTNIRS fNIRS systems, built for brain science research.

iMScope QT | Imaging Mass Microscope 
Inheriting the concept of a mass spectrometer equipped with an optical microscope from the iMScope series, the iMScope QT Imaging Mass Microscope is also Shimadzu‘s flagship model for MS imaging with a Q-TOF MS(LCMS-9030).
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.
iMScope QT Imaging Mass Microscope overview
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.
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.
High Resolution, Speed and Accuracy
- Acquisition of accurate, high-speed, high-resolution MS images, together with efficient data analysis
- Combination of the high-accuracy, high-speed LCMS-9030* with high-resolution mass spectrometry imaging
