Surface and interface analysis techniques have been mainly developed to meet the demands on atomic scale characterization from semiconductor industries. KRISS has been trying to meet the surface and interface analysis challenges from semiconductor industries and furthermore to extend the application scope to biomedical areas. In this presentation, I’d like to report our recent activities of nanobio imaging for new biomedical applications such as 1) Coherent Anti-Stokes Raman Scattering (CARS) for atherosclerotic plaque imaging 2) Time-of-flight secondary ion mass spectrometry (TOF-SIMS) for mass imaging of collagen fibrils, atherosclerotic plaques, and cancer tissues and 3) Surface Plasmon Resonance Imaging Ellipsometry for cell adhesion, migration, and infiltration dynamics for HUVEC, CASMC, and T cells 4) TOF-medium energy ion scattering spectroscopy (TOF-MEIS) for nanothin films and nanoparticles such as CdSe/ZnS quantum dots and calcium hydroxyapatite nano-size biominerals. Future challenges of nanobio imaging for biomedical applications will be discussed.
