English abstract:
The simultaneous use of Laser Induced Breakdown Spectroscopy (LIBS) and Laser Ablation Inductively Coupled Plasma Mass Spectrometry (LA-ICP-MS) has shown to be a valuable tool for the analysis of a large range of sample types. Increasing the information depth from a single sample analysis can make the results obtained in elemental imaging experiments even more valuable. Large limitations have to be faced when analyzing some biologically relevant bulk elements (i.e. carbon, nitrogen, oxygen) using simple LA-ICP-MS. The use of LIBS in parallel to the laser ablation ICP-MS analysis can help to tackle those limits of LA-ICP-MS and extend the range of analyzed elements dramatically. As a result the elemental distributions can get more reliable and significant for biological or medical interpretations
