Imaging mass spectrometry of grape berries
The following images have been submitted by Dr. Farhana Pinu, Science Group Leader - Biological Chemistry and Bioactives, New Zealand.
Farhana and her colleagues apply Imaging mass spectrometry technology to investigate grape berries, eg., for the production of wines.
The MS image above shows differences in mass spectra (a) and characteristic spatial distribution of mass features (b) due to the mechanical shaking of grape vines.
Data were acquired with a MALDI-TOF-MS (Bruker UltrafleXtreme, Germany); Software: in SCiLS Lab 2D software (version 2019b Pro, SCiLS GmbH, Bremen, Germany).
