Budget Amount *help	¥2,730,000 (Direct Cost: ¥2,100,000、Indirect Cost: ¥630,000) Fiscal Year 2024: ¥1,300,000 (Direct Cost: ¥1,000,000、Indirect Cost: ¥300,000) Fiscal Year 2023: ¥1,430,000 (Direct Cost: ¥1,100,000、Indirect Cost: ¥330,000)
Keywords	Atomic force microscopy / Pulsed electric field / Intracellular imaging
Outline of Research at the Start	A non-destructive electric field-based approach to create precisely controllable membrane incision for intracellular nanoscale imaging is proposed. I will develop a microplatform that uses the AFM tip with a dual-function for membrane incision and intracellular imaging.
