Abstract
Laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS) is a versatile analytical tool for studying the elemental composition of any kind of sample, such as solids, liquids or gases. One of the latest developments in this technique is the ability to use it for elemental imaging, that is to say spatially resolved surface analysis. LIBS imaging is becoming a very attractive and popular technique for the qualitative and/or quantitative spectrochemical characterization of specimens for a wide range of applications. Because of its unique set of intrinsic advantages, LIBS imaging is frequently preferred over competitive and complementary techniques for elemental imaging.
This review recapitulates the technical fundamentals of LIBS imaging and focuses on significant applications that have received the most promising attention and have undergone major advances during the last three years in the industrial, geological and biomedical fields. We also discuss the current limitations that hinder the further development of LIBS imaging, as well as perspectives on the use of LIBS as a part of multimodal imaging strategies, the contribution of chemometrics, and ideas for improving the limits of detection and quantification aspects.
