The Teledyne Iridia is a 193 nm laser ablation system that enables direct solid sampling for elemental imaging. It can analyse a wide range of substrates, from soft tissues and cells to mineralised materials such as teeth and fossils. With adjustable spot sizes from 1 to 50 microns and high repetition rates, it supports both sub-cellular resolution and efficient imaging of larger areas. When coupled to ICP-MS platforms, it provides high-speed, spatially resolved metallomic imaging.
