A method of analysing a target is disclosed comprising ablating a portion of a target so as to cause an aerosol plume to be produced and light or other electromagnetic radiation to be emitted. The aerosol plume is analysed using mass spectrometry and/or ion mobility spectrometry and the emitted light or other electromagnetic radiation is analysed using optical spectroscopy in order to determine one or more regions of interest of the target and/or one or more margins or bounds of a region of interest of the target.

Combined optical and mass spectral tissue identification probe

There is provided an apparatus comprising a first ion source () arranged and adapted to emit a spray of charged droplets (), and a control system arranged and adapted to control one or more spatial properties of said spray of charged droplets () in use by automatically varying or adjusting one or more parameters of said first ion source.
