Imaging Mass Microscope
iMScope QT Chromatography Systems

Inheriting the concept of a mass spectrometer equipped with an optical
microscope from the iMScope series, the iMScope QT is also Shimadzu's
flagship model for MS imaging with a Q-TOF MS. The iMScope QT
boasts not only fusion with morphology studies but also excellent
speed, sensitivity, and spatial resolution, clearing the way to next-
generation mass spectrometry imaging. It has the spatial resolution of Mass Spectrometry Systems
5 µm, three times the mass resolution and five times the imaging image
acquisition speed of conventional models.

Measurement Results for the Cerebellum with 5 μm Spatial Resolution Life Science Lab Systems
The cerebellum was measured with a high-resolution of 5 μm. High-resolution MS imaging and morphological observations with the optical
microscope support cutting-edge research.
