Taking pictures with your camera you may find that images often look okay on a first glimpse, but when zooming in fine details are barely noticeable.
In contrast, the high information density of high resolution images will reveal even the smallest details. Since the introduction of ICP optical emission spectrometry, the spectral resolution has been a main concern with respect to accuracy and sensitivity. The wealth of emission lines from the plasma frequently leads to overlapping between lines of the analyte and that of accompanying elements. In many sample matrices such spectral interferences...
Biologics characterisation from cradle to grave 12th – 13th May 2015 MedImmune Cambridge
Complete characterisation of proteins and peptides is essential across a wide range of industries and applications.

Anasys Instruments reports on the study of cultural heritage painting cross-sections by researchers from UCSB and the Getty Conservation Institute using their breakthrough AFM-based nanoscale mass spectrometry technique.
The analysis of cultural heritage materials presents a number of challenges such as: limited and extremely small samples, complexity of sample structure, the importance of maintaining spatial integrity and, most notably, the rarity of the samples. These limitations present specific challenges for the identification of many traditional organic dyes, particularly in paintings that may have multiple original paint layers (depending on the artist’s...
