dc.description.abstractPIXE is a very sensitive technique that can fast and reliably measure a wide range of elements simultaneously with high sensitivity. Using a focused microbeam elemental distributions can be mapped with high spatial resolution. We demonstrate high resolution mapping of metals in plant leafs at 5 um resolution and it's application in detecting sites of metal accumulation in metal-accumulating plant tissues. The importance of biological sample preparation is discussed by direct comparison of freeze-substitution and freeze-drying routinely used in biological sciences. The advantages and limitations of quantitative elemental imaging using these techniques are also discussed.en_AU
