Summary

Automatic Translation

Molecular imaging with matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization-based imaging mass spectrometry (MALDI-IMS) allows the simultaneous mapping of multiple analytes in biological samples. Here, we present a protocol for the detection and visualization of amyloid β protein on brain tissues of Alzheimer's disease and cerebral amyloid angiopathy samples using MALDI-IMS.
