This Small Business Technology Transfer (STTR) Phase I research project aims to develop a novel software package for the analysis of complex data generated by a combination of time-of-flight secondary ion mass spectrometry (TOF-SIMS) and attenuated total reflection infrared spectroscopy (ATR-IR). Novel algorithms that can facilitate the analysis and visualization of the large amount of information created in mass spectrometric experiments are needed by scientists in the academic and industrial arenas alike. Moreover, as improvements are made in mass spectrometers, the use of these instruments is bound to increase and as such robust and intuitive programs for data analysis will be in demand.The mass resolution and characterization of the surface profiles of heterogeneous material such as cells achieved by ToF-SIMS and ATR-IR results in the generation of large quantities of useful data that require equally powerful algorithms to analyze and visualize. The development of software that can systematically process and display the layers of information produced in such experiments would maximize the usefulness of the powerful hardware that has been developed.

这个小型企业技术转移(STTR)第一阶段研究项目旨在开发一种新的软件包，用于分析飞行时间二次离子质谱仪(TOF-SIMS)和衰减全反射红外光谱(ATR-IR)产生的复杂数据。在学术和工业领域，科学家都需要新的算法来促进对质谱学实验中产生的大量信息的分析和可视化。此外，随着质谱仪的改进，这些仪器的使用必然会增加，因此将需要强大和直观的数据分析程序。通过TOF-SIMS和ATR-IR实现的异质材料表面轮廓的质量分辨率和表征导致产生大量有用的数据，需要同样强大的算法来分析和可视化。开发能够系统地处理和显示在这类实验中产生的各层信息的软件，将最大限度地发挥已开发的强大硬件的作用。
