Abstract

The ability to scan individual cancer cells that are alive has always fascinated the biomedical research community. Unfortunately, modern day imaging tools, such as atomic force microscopy, electron microscopy and magnetic resonance imaging, have not been successful in achieving that goal. The Scanning Impedance Imaging (SII) project hopes to successfully scan an individual living cancer cell and provide the biomedical community with a new imaging tool.
