Fast-atom bombardment mass spectrometry (FAB-MS) has been applied to the identification of diterpenoid compounds and their oxidation products. Similarly, laser-induced desorption mass spectrometric (LDMS) techniques have been applied to the identification of natural and synthetic organic pigments in microscopic paint samples prepared as cross sections [60].
