The term matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization (MALDI) was coined in 1985 by Franz Hillenkamp, Michael Karas and their colleagues. [3] These researchers found that the amino acid alanine could be ionized more easily if it was mixed with the amino acid tryptophan and irradiated with a pulsed 266 nm laser.
Over the past ten years, transformative developments in the laser technology, [4] data acquisition, motor-control software (RastirX [5]), and imaging processing software (MSiReader [6] [7]) have promoted IR-MALDESI as a powerful tool for the direct analysis and MSI of diverse biological, forensic, and pharmaceutical samples.

MALDI mass spectrometry imaging (MALDI-MSI) is the use of matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization as a mass spectrometry imaging [2] technique in which the sample, often a thin tissue section, is moved in two dimensions while the mass spectrum is recorded. [3]
A typical workflow of a peptide mass fingerprinting experiment. Peptide mass fingerprinting (PMF), also known as protein fingerprinting, is an analytical technique for protein identification in which the unknown protein of interest is first cleaved into smaller peptides, whose absolute masses can be accurately measured with a mass spectrometer such as MALDI-TOF or ESI-TOF.
