Laser Desorption Low-Temperature Plasma Mass Spectrometry Imaging (LD-LTP MSI) of San Pedro cactus

Mass spectrometry imaging (MSI) data set in imzML format, obtained from San Pedro cactus (<em>Echinopsis pachanoi</em>) cross-section using Laser Desorption Low-Temperature Plasma ionization. Mapping the ion that corresponds to mescaline shows a star-like distribution of this interesting alkaloid.
