N. Jamin et al., CHEMICAL IMAGING OF NUCLEIC-ACIDS, PROTEINS AND LIPIDS OF A SINGLE LIVING CELL - APPLICATION OF SYNCHROTRON INFRARED MICROSPECTROMETRY IN CELL BIOLOGY, Cellular and molecular biology, 44(1), 1998, pp. 9-13
Hybridoma B-cells have been used as models to evaluate the performance
of synchrotron infrared microscopy to obtain chemical images of a sin
gle living cell. Chemical mapping of nucleic acids, proteins and lipid
s at a resolution of a few microns, close to the diffraction limit in
the mid-infrared region are shown.
