A multimodal single‐cell imaging platform greatly expands the abilities of mass spectrometry imaging (MSI) at nanoscale resolutions. In their Communication on page 4541 ff., W. Hang, X. Yan, J. Li, and co‐workers report the development of a near‐field desorption mass spectrometer and correlated chemical and topographical single‐cell imaging. This high lateral resolution MSI technique allows the acquisition of more in‐depth cellular information compared with current microscale laser‐based MSI methods.
