Enable SEM Observation of Live Samples with NanoSuit Aqueous Solution

NanoSuit is a novel technology which enables observation of cells, microorganisms, tissues, etc. in a living state using scanning electron microscopy (SEM). NanoSuit forms a very thin barrier layer on the surface of a specimen which is electrically conductive and which holds moisture in the sample under vacuum conditions in the electron microscope. It is very easy to use requiring only one drop of solution on the specimen before placing in the SEM. No prior fixation or preparation is required. Developed by Prof. Takahiko Hariyama in Japan, the aqueous solution is a bio-compatible and safe polymer which is simply dropped onto the specimens to be investigated. The electron beam polymerises the layer forming a thin barrier over the surface of the specimen. This barrier holds moisture and its' conductivity provides clear SEM images.
