| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
To better understand various biological functions, observation of the nanometer structures of cells in water is essential. Here, we developed a new imaging technology called a scanning-electron assisted dielectric-impedance microscopy system based on SEM. Our system provides high-contrast imaging of the intact biological specimens in water. We demonstrate the nanoscale observation of living cultured mammalian cells using SE-ADM system with a newly developed culture dish holder. As a result, intact cells and organelles are clearly visible in high-contrast and high-resolution images in medium. Moreover, we successfully observe nanobeads directly binding to living cancer cells via anti-CD44 antibody in a medium and their intracellular structure at the same time. Furthermore, our system can be applied to diverse liquid samples across broad range of scientific fields, for example, nanoparticle, nanotube and organic materials.
