摘要: Imaging Mass Spectrometry (IMS) is strengthening its position as a valuable analytical tool. It has unique ability to identify structures and unravel molecular changes that occur in the precisely defined part of sample. These features open new possibilities field various aspects biological research. In this review we briefly discuss main imaging mass spectrometry techniques, well nature samples molecules, which might be analyzed by such methodology. Moreover, novel approach, where different techniques combined with results IMS study, emphasized discussed. With fast development related methods, can foresee promising future technique. © 2015 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. Spec Rev 35: 147–169, 2016.
