Secondary ion mass spectrometry (SIMS) is an important technique for the surface analysis of a wide variety of materials. In this method a beam of energeticions, typically with a few thousand electronvolts of kinetic en-ergy, is directed at the target. This projectile transfers some of its mo-mentum to the sample surface, caus-ing desorption of ions and neutral atoms and molecules (1). The ejection of molecules was first noted by Benninghoven and co-workers to occur from metal surfaces (2, 3). With the development of fast atom bombardment (FAB) in the early 1980s, these ion beam tech-niques have become powerful tools for the study of thermally labile mol-ecules of virtually any type, ranging from polymers and peptides to small molecules. Recent advances in time-of-flight (TOF) detection and laser-based postionization methodshave further expanded the uses of these techniques. It appears now that the next explosive development will be associated with molecular imaging in the submicrometer spatial regime. In this REPORT, we review some of these key developments and consider the scope of new imaging techniques that utilize MS.
