Atomic Force Microscopy

Atomic Force Microscopy

Atomic force microscopy (AFM) is a type of scanning probe microscopy that can analyze topographic details of various specimens like ceramics, glass, polymers, and biological samples. AFM offers over 1000 times more resolution than the optical imaging system. Images generated from AFM are three-dimensional surface profiles, offering an advantage over the flat, two-dimensional images from other imaging techniques.
The AFM Probe
The probe is regarded as the heart of any AFM setup and comprises the...

Magnetic Resonance Imaging

Magnetic Resonance Imaging

Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is a noninvasive medical imaging technique based on a phenomenon of nuclear physics discovered in the 1930s, in which matter exposed to magnetic fields and radio waves was found to emit radio signals. In 1970, a physician and researcher named Raymond Damadian noticed that malignant (cancerous) tissue gave off different signals than normal body tissue. He applied for a patent for the first MRI scanning device in clinical use by the early 1980s. The early MRI...

Overview of Microscopy Techniques

Overview of Microscopy Techniques

The early pioneers of microscopy opened a window into the invisible world of microorganisms. In 1830, Joseph Jackson Lister created an essentially modern light microscope. The 20th century saw the development of microscopes that leveraged nonvisible light, such as fluorescence microscopy that uses an ultraviolet light source and electron microscopy that uses short-wavelength electron beams. These advances significantly improved magnification, image resolution, and contrast. By comparison, the...

Background:

Magneto-photo-acoustic imaging combines magneto-motive ultrasound, photoacoustic, and ultrasound imaging.
Hybrid nanoconstructs are essential for dual-contrast imaging applications.

Purpose of the Study:

Introduce magneto-photo-acoustic imaging (MPA) as a novel hybrid imaging technique.
Evaluate the efficacy of hybrid nanoconstructs as dual-contrast agents for MPA.
Demonstrate MPA's capability in visualizing nanoparticle-labeled cells and tissues.

Main Methods:

Developed hybrid nanoconstructs: liposomes encapsulating gold nanorods and iron oxide nanoparticles.
Utilized tissue-mimicking phantoms and ex vivo porcine tissue with embedded macrophage cells.
Applied magneto-photo-acoustic imaging to visualize labeled cells and tissues within anatomical context.

Main Results:

MPA successfully visualized the location of dual-contrast nanoparticle-labeled cells and tissues.
Achieved sufficient contrast, excellent contrast resolution, and high spatial resolution.
Demonstrated the ability to differentiate nanoparticle-labeled pathological regions from normal tissue.

Conclusions:

Magneto-photo-acoustic imaging provides a promising platform for noninvasive diagnosis and characterization of pathologies.
The developed hybrid nanoconstructs serve as effective dual-contrast agents for MPA.
MPA offers high resolution and contrast for identifying labeled pathological areas within surrounding tissues.
