Invited Technical Oral Communication
In the last decade, there has been a growing interest in the elemental and biomolecular distribution on the tissue surface. These species are localized to a specific region of the tissue and play an important role in biochemical processes. Therefore, it is important to investigate the spatial distribution, structure and function of these biological species [1]. The current surface...

Invited Technical Oral Communication
Imaging fluorescence generated by MeV ions in biological systems such as cells and tissue sections requires a high resolution beam (< 100 nm), a sensitive detection system and a fluorescent probe that has a high quantum efficiency and low bleaching rate. For cutting edge applications in bioimaging, the fluorescence imaging technique needs to break the optical diffraction limit allowing for...

Oral Communication
Assessing the cellular response to external factors (exogeneous compounds, nanoparticles…) often require the use of microcroscopy techniques to visualize the internalization of these factors in living cells. In many studies, imaging using different probes is performed to provide complementary data by combining the advantages of each individual technique. This is particularly true in the frame...

Oral Communication
A microbeam focused by a tapered glass capillary has been developed with a 1.7 MV Pelletron accelerator at RIKEN [1]. A few micrometer thick polymer window was inserted at the end of the capillary tip for evacuating, which allows it to be immersed in a liquid medium. In our facility, three bending magnets downstream of the beamline are used to deviate the trajectories of MeV ions (e.g. protons...
