Using a time-of-flight secondary ion mass spectrometer equipped with an argon cluster ion for sputtering and a bismuth liquid metal ion source for analysis, both surfaces of leaves and fruits of Macaranga vedeliana, an endemic New Caledonian species, have been for the first time analyzed by a dual beam depth profiling. To prevent in-vacuum evaporation of the liquid content of the small glandular trichomes covering fruits and leaves surfaces and also to be able to analyze their liquid content while preventing any sublimation of the latter, the samples were kept frozen during the whole experiment using a nitrogen cooled sample holder. Thus, it was possible to demonstrate that vedelianin, an active metabolite of the family of prenylated stilbenes named schweinfurthins, is only located in these glandular trichomes.
