Spatial Metabolomics Mass Spectrometry Imaging: MALDI vs DESI forHigh-Resolution Tissue Mapping

Infographic comparing MALDI and DESI mass spectrometry imaging for spatial metabolomics: MALDI uses matrix-coated cryosections and laser ionization for high spatial resolution but matrix clusters limit m/z < 500; DESI sprays charged solvent without matrix, allows section re-analysis, detects small metabolites, and both generate spectra and ion images for spatial lipidomics and drug mapping.
