Microscope Spectrometer

Engineers at Oak Ridge National Laboratory have built a high resolution optical microscope and mass spectrometer combination with “both bright-field and fluorescence microscopy capabilities that, when used in conjunction with scanning mass spectral imaging of tissue samples, revealed features as small as 15 μm in size distinguishable in both the mass spectral and optical images.” Further, this hybrid functions at room temperature.   MORE
