Abstract

In extreme ultraviolet laser ablation MSI, bright laser pulses from a compact 46.9-nm-wavelength laser [1] are focused into nanometer size spots to ablate craters a few nanometers deep on selected regions of the sample. Elemental and molecular ions in the laser-created plasma are extracted and identified by their mass-to-charge ratio (m/z) using a time-of-flight mass spectrometer. Analysis of the spatially resolved mass spectra obtained as the sample is displaced with respect to the focused laser beam enables one to construct 3-D composition images with nanoscale resolution [2]. In this talk I will describe recent advances of extreme ultraviolet MSI that show its unique capabilities to identify low concentration of high Z elements into glass matrices, and to map molecular composition of single micro-organisms in 3-D at the nanoscale.
