Abstract

In this paper, we report a non-invasive and nondestructive probing method for analyzing the MG63 osteoblast-like cells. High-frequency Microwave atomic force microscope (M-AFM) can sense the topography and microwave image of MG63 cells simultaneously in one scanning process. Under the frequency modulation (FM) AFM mode, this powerful instrument is applied successfully to create a microwave image of MG63 cells with nanometer-scale spatial resolution. By analyzing the results, quantification such as, the number and distribution of organelles and proteins of MG63 cells as well as their dimension and electrical property information can be characterized.
