The combination of high spatial and chemical X-ray microscopy techniques highlights how in situ analysis can yield new insights into the complexity of the wheat aleurone layer, whose precise biochemical composition, morphology, and structural characteristics are still not unequivocally resolved.

The surface of two glass artefacts in mosaic style, probably fragments of conglomerate glass bowls dating back two millennia, was investigated by laser ablation-inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (LA-ICP-MS). Sum normalization was applied to each pixel in the map separately and required a custom source code to process all the data in the tens of thousands of pixels to generate the elemental oxide concentration maps.

Zn species degradation in the human gastrointestinal tract was investigated. A sequential analytical approach was applied. Water extracts of pumpkin seeds exhibited a specific Zn species fingerprint. Zn species identified in plant extracts were completely decomposed to Zn2+. Antinutrients like phytate might be responsible for reduction of Zn bioavailability.
