multiplexed ion beam imaging

Multiplexed ion beam imaging is a scientific technique that uses a focused ion beam—tiny, high-energy particles—to scan a sample and stimulate the release of different molecules. These molecules are then detected and distinguished based on their unique signals, allowing researchers to visualize multiple components of a sample simultaneously. This method provides detailed, high-resolution images of complex biological or materials samples, helping scientists understand structures and interactions at a microscopic level with precision and multiplicity.
