Description	Laser induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS) and laser ablation inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (LA-ICP-MS) have been applied for high-resolution mapping of accumulation and distribution of lead, potassium and manganese in leaves of Capsicum annuum L. samples. Lead was added in a form of Pb(NO3)2 at concentration up to 10 mmol L-1. Two dimensional maps of the elements are presented for both laser-assisted analytical methods. Elemental mapping performed on fresh (frozen) and dried Capsicum annuum L. leaves are compared.
