TL;DR

Recent advances in mass spectrometry imaging have made it possible to achieve subcellular quantitative analysis at the organelle level. Traditional mass spectrometry imaging was limited to qualitative analysis and micrometer-level spatial resolution, but new developments in nano secondary ion mass spectrometry have enabled absolute quantification and extremely high spatial resolution, allowing for a comprehensive understanding of subcellular processes.
