• Description: Here we report on the utilization of LIBS for mapping of distribution of some nutrition and trace elements in plant tissues. From measurements data 2D maps illustrating the distribution of some elements within plants organs and some slices trough different plant positions were made. Plants were cultivated even by adding solutions of some toxic elements or in pure hydroponic solution for a control sample.
