Abstract
Scanning transmission ion microscopy (STIM) imaging of living cultured cell s has been carried out using a proton external-beam with the nuclear microp robe of Bordeaux-Gradignan. STIM could be performed in air atmosphere after passage of a focused proton beam through a 150 nm thick silicon nitride wi ndow. Energy loss STIM images were obtained with a spatial resolution in th e micrometer range and enabled the identification of sub-cellular ultrastru ctures. (C) 2001 Elsevier Science B.V.
