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
