Abstract

The potential for using quantitative characteristics calculated from digital microscopic images of samples to predict 'hot spots' locations in order to guide MALDI signal acquisition was analyzed. Initial studies of MALDI signal correlations were performed with data obtained on a Kompact MALDI Discovery instrument with one-dimensional (1D) rastering capability. The angiotensin peak area for each trace was estimated and the spatial autocorrelation function of the signal was computed. The results suggest that strategies for performing optimal signal fusion based on visual surface features should be pursued with caution and that 'hot spot' locations for one ion species will not necessarily correspond to those for other ion species.
