Imaging was performed using a MIBI-TOF instrument with a Hyperion ion source. Xe+ primary ions were used to sequentially sputter pixels for a given FOV. The following imaging parameters were used: acquisition setting, 80 kHz; field size, 500 μm x 500 μm (TB, M. avium and controls) or 450 μm × 450 μm (sarcoidosis) at 1,024 ×1,024 pixels; dwell time, 4 ms; median gun current on tissue, 1.45 nA Xe+; ion dose, 3.38 nAmp h per mm2 (500-μm2 FOVs) and 3.75 nAmp h per mm2 (450 μm2 FOVs).
For samples added to the cohort at a later time, the following imaging parameters were used: acquisition setting, 80 kHz; field size, 500 μm × 500 μm; dwell time, 1–2 ms; median gun current on tissue, 4.36 nA Xe+; ion dose, 2.54 × 5.08 nAmp h per mm2.
