Outline of Final Research Achievements

We investigated the possibility of observing live cells and tissues by atmospheric scanning electron microscopy (atmospheric SEM). Our study revealed that this technique is powerful for observing plant tissues including leaf surfaces, but has some difficulty for visualizing the surface of animal cells and tissues due to several reasons such as surface unevenness, low signal intensity and the presence of surface water . To improve the quality of cell observation by atmospheric SEM, preparation techniques including the ion liquid treatment were tested in this study.
