Plenary
Nuclear microscopy has now reached the point where sub-100nm resolutions can be routinely achieved for low current application such as Scanning Transmission Ion Microscopy (1). Since simulations and experimental results have indicated that this resolution is maintained through a whole biological cell, then we now have the potential of imaging the interior of whole cells at unprecedented...

Essential trace metals such as Fe, Cu, or Zn are involved in biochemical processes required for the functioning of the nervous system, and as a corollary such metal based functions can be hampered by a dysregulation of metal homeostasis, or by the competition with exogenous neurotoxic metals. For instance most neurodegenerative disorders such as Parkinson’s disease, Alzheimer’s disease,...

High energy ion microprobes allows a precise energy dose deposition, which makes them very attractive for irradiation of living, biological samples and open a wide range of application in radiation biology and neighboring fields, e.g. medicine. Beam size and targeting accuracy in the micron and submicron range allows structured and targeted irradiation on a dimension of the cell nuclei and...
