摘要: Time-of-flight secondary ion mass spectrometry (ToF-SIMS) has proven to be an extremely powerful tool for characterizing chemical distributions within biological cells and tissues. However, differentiating samples, e.g., cancerous from their normal counterparts or benign tissues malignant tissues, presents unique challenges ToF-SIMS. Repeatable differentiation of such especially formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded (FFPE) histological specimens, could used improve tissue-based diagnosis aid in prognosis decisions. In this chapter, we describe a strategy FFPE ToF-SIMS was image deparaffinized mouse embryos differentiate tissue types. The robustness repeatability the method determined by analyzing ten slices three different over period 1 month. Using principal component analysis (PCA) reduce spectral data generated ToF-SIMS, histopathologically identified types can differentiated based on characteristic differences spectra.
