Fig. 2 Subsurface imaging of magnetic particles embeded in silica core shell. (A) Schematic illustration of the magnetic core nanostructure embedded in the refractory silica core shell–based molecular marker. (B) AFM topographical image showing well dispersed silica core shell nanostructures. (C) Normal tapping-mode phase image that doesn’t show any phase contrast coming from embedded particles in silica core. (D) Phase contrast from subsurface magnetic nanoparticles enclosed in core shell nanoparticles at nanoscale spatial resolution. The magnetic core, silica core, and receptor layer are identified in the ultrasonic phase. fs and fc are the sample and cantilever ultrasonic frequencies, respectively.
Fig. 3 Intracellular fibers imaging of endothelial cells stimulated with thrombin. (A) AFM topographical image of the ECs altered by the addition of thrombin. (B) Ultrasound bioprobe phase image showing notable contrast from intracellular fibers. Intracellular fibers are predominantly seen in the ultrasound phase image along with stretched gaps and subcellular phase contrast in the nuclear region of the cells.
