A MALDI-MS imaging system equipped with a powerful optical microscope

The iMScope QT system provides fast, high-resolution imaging for efficient data analysis

The iMScope QT system is an atmospheric pressure MALDI-MS imaging system equipped with an optical microscope. You can easily attach and detach the LCMS Q-TOF, switching between mass spectrometry imaging and LC/MS analysis. The versatility of the system enables you to perform a broad range of applications.

With the iMScope QT system, you can also capture high-resolution images for efficient data analysis – with pixels that are five microns in size. These fine details enable you to accurately assess your sample.
