Abstract
Systems and methods are provided for maximizing the data acquired from a sample in a mass spectrometry imaging experiment. An ion source device is instructed to produce and transmit to a tandem mass spectrometer a plurality of ions for each location of two or more locations of a sample. A mass range is divided into two or more mass window widths. For each location of the two or more locations, the tandem mass spectrometer is instructed to fragment the plurality of ions received for each location using each mass window width of the two or more mass window widths and to analyze resulting product ions. A product ion spectrum is produced for each mass window width, and a plurality of product ion spectra are produced for each location of the two or more locations.
