• Description: We report on the development and implementation of analytical methodology for investigating elemental accumulation in different layers within plant leaves, with in-situ spatial resolution mapping, exploiting the technique of LIBS. The spectrochemical analysis of lead-doped leaf samples is demonstrated to develop a real time identification procedure in order to complement other analytical techniques not lending themselves for spatial resolution analysis.
