Abstract

Analytical probes capable of assessing the molecular composition and mapping it in 3D at the nanoscale will transform materials research, biology, and medicine. Herein, we describe recent advances of soft X-ray laser ablation mass spectral imaging that highlight the unique capabilities of the method to identify intact molecular content in dielectrics and fullerenes and to map the molecular composition of single microorganisms in 3D at the nanoscale.
