| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Although specimens should normally be placed in vacuum condition for electron microscopes, we developed micro-electro-mechanical systems to visualize in-liquid bacteria. In this project, we developed a specimen holder to control cell cultural conditions, and a microfluidic device with a electron transparent membrane which separate vacuum and liquid. By using them, we visualized the dynamic motions of bubbles in liquid and droplets on the membrane, and observed cyanobacteria under cultural condition for long time.
