We describe in this application the analysis of samples using elemental or mass spectrometry and the analysis of samples, such as biological samples by suspension mass cytometry or imaging mass cytometry and an inductively coupled plasma torch with reverse vortex flow for elemental analysis and a method of operating an ICP torch configured to interface with a spectrometer.

Inductively coupled plasma torch with reverse vortex flow and method of operation

We describe in this application systems and methods for autofocusing in imaging mass spectrometry. The present application describes improvements over current IMS and IMC apparatus and methods through an autofocus component including a plurality of apertures in the autofocus system, such as a plurality of apertures arranged in 2 dimensions. As a plurality of apertures is used, the autofocus system provides redundancy in the event that measurement of focus on the sample from the illuminating radiation passed through one or more of the apertures fails so as to reduce the number of unsuccessful autofocus attempts.
