Original Abstract

Imaging of sample surface is of a paramount interest to the LIBS community. Currently, many applications yield Imaging of sample surface is of a paramount interest to the LIBS community. Currently, many applications yield from the capability of LIBS to provide multi-elemental maps on a large-scale with micro-resolution, which is its most vital advantage of them all. This then enables to investigate heterogeneity of elemental distribution and, in turn, bring additional information to researchers. This approach is collectively called the elemental imaging and in recent years gains particular attention. Most recently, high-end LIBS systems benefit from the advancement of instrumentation (lasers, spectroscopes and detectors). The most crucial parameter is, especially in the case of mapping, the repetition rate. The repetition rate dramatically influences the duration of an analysis and mapping of large-scale sample surfaces then becomes tedious. Currently, the repetition rate of routinely used LIBS system is 100 Hz. A LIBS system has a potential to reach repetition rate in the order of kHz. Overall, the repetition rate is the main advantage of the LIBS technique in respect to its analytical counterparts. In this work I am to present the most recent advances of LIBS in selected applications, ranging from the analysis of plants to hard and soft tissues. The implementation of LIBS to biology brings additional challenges beyond the improvement of the analytical system. Thus, optimization of sample preparation and data handling protocols will be also given.
