Ultrashort pulse length lasers operating in the near-infrared region show promise for submicrometer lateral resolution by laser desorption-based mass spectrometry (MS) imaging. However, these experiments must balance lateral resolution and molecular fragmentation since abundant atomic ions are observed at the high laser irradiances that can be generated by tightly focused ultrashort pulse laser beams. It is shown here that combining ultrashort pulse laser desorption with laser postionization (fs-LDPI) allows for a considerable increase of molecular ion signal while operating with lower laser irradiances, yielding the added benefit of reduced molecular fragmentation. This Letter presents several experimental results in support of the fs-LDPI approach for MS imaging. First, the lateral resolution for MS imaging of molecular species desorbed by similar to 75 fs, 800 nm laser pulses was determined to be
