The cover picture shows (in the background) the experimental setup for liquid-beam infrared-laser desorption mass spectrometry. The inset focuses on the nozzle and the microbeam intersecting with an IR-laser. The setup was employed to monitor the reactants, intermediates, and products of a complex organic reaction in real time on
multiple timescales directly from the liquid phase. Details are given in the in the Full Paper by C. Schneider, B. Abel and co-workers on
