Abstract
This invention comprises a method of imaging of a substrate in which a sample of interest is first ionized at multiple known positions whereafter a mass spectrum of the ionized sample at each of the multiple known positions is produced using a Mass Spectrometer. An overall spectrum for the whole sample is then created, and a number of peaks within the overall spectrum is selected. A scan distribution for at least some of the selected peaks is created, and the scan distributions are compared to identify correlations between different analytes within the sample.
