******************************************************* 3D DESI imaging MS dataset 'Colorectal_Adenocarcinoma' ******************************************************* This is a dataset published in the GigaScience database alongside with the data note entitled 'Benchmark datasets for 3D MALDI- and DESI-Imaging Mass Spectrometry' by Oetjen et al.. ******************************************************* It contains 3D DESI imaging MS data from a human colorectal adenocarcinoma specimen acquired by matrix assisted laser desorption/ ionization imaging mass spectrometry. Data within file 'Colorectal_Adenocarcinoma.h5' is arranged as follows: The m/z vector is stored at ‘/mz’ and data from the nth slice can be found in the ‘/data/sn’ group. Each of these groups contains the optical image (‘/data/sn/op’), MS image (‘/data/sn/x’) and the section number (‘/data/sn/zPosition’). Sample metadata are stored in the root directory (‘/’). ******************************************************* For more information about the HDF5 format please visit http://www.hdfgroup.org/HDF5.
