| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
In order to achieve spatial and temporal imaging of cellular functions in single living cells, we have developed a newly designed probe for atomic force microscope (AFM), named “bioprobe. As a fundamental study of conventional AFM functions, we demonstrated the ability of the bioprobe to capture AFM images of living cells. We proposed a vibration-assisted insertion method to give a high degree of probability of penetrating the cell membrane. We also proposed a novel intracellular delivery method based on electrokinetically driven flow. The method has the potential to enable the quantitative introduction of biomolecules and the extraction of an extremely small number of biomolecules or cellular components. Moreover, a study of the feasibility of intracellular imaging based on tip-enhanced Raman scattering (TERS) was performed with a homemade Raman system. The result will allow us to add TERS functionality to the bioprobe for the dynamic functional analysis of living cells.
