BIO-IMAGING

As part of our efforts to apply materials science characterization to relevant biomedical systems, we have been developing new methods for the application of Focused Ion Beam/Ion Microscopy/Electron Microscopy to the study of biomedical samples. So far, we have created a novel microscopy technique called Correlative Light-Ion Microscopy (CLIM) and are in the process of developing other new methods using the unique potential provided by FIB for TEM sample preparation and 3D reconstruction of a micro region.
