Nu Instruments | Live High-Speed Multi-Element Imaging with Vitesse TOF-ICP-MS
Discover how Vitesse enables real-time acquisition, processing and visualisation of elemental images. This application note demonstrates automated workflows, live image rendering and flexible calibration strategies for high-throughput laser ablation imaging.
Vitesse combines high-speed TOF-ICP-MS acquisition with laser ablation systems to create fully processed elemental images during data collection. By linking laser pulses directly to ICP-MS signals, the system accurately assigns elemental information to each pixel.
The platform supports multiple imaging modes, calibration strategies and image normalisation approaches. Researchers can optimise image quality, improve signal-to-background performance and compensate for sample variability.
Automation features simplify complex imaging workflows, allowing unattended acquisition of calibrations and sample images. Live rendering provides immediate feedback during analysis, accelerating method development and data interpretation.
Key Takeaways:
- Generates fully processed elemental images in real time.
- Supports automated calibration and unattended operation.
- Offers flexible workflows for a wide range of imaging applications.
