'It is a very well presented, clearly written, and comprehensive book, offering a good balance between theoretical descriptions of ionisation mechanisms and instrumental setups and broad practical descriptions of application areas.''is a long overdue addition to the relevant literature and T. Porta Siegel et al. have made an excellent and comprehensive contribution to the MSI and MALDI MS field. I can highly recommend reading this book for prospective, new, and seasoned MSI users.'
