摘要

Visualizing micro- and nano-scale biological entities requires high-resolution imaging and is conventionally achieved via optical microscopic techniques. Optical diffraction limits their resolution to similar to 200 nm. This limit can be overcome by using ions with similar to 1 MeV energy. Such ions penetrate through several micrometers in tissues, and their much shorter de Broglie wavelengths indicate that these ion beams can be focused to much shorter scales and hence can potentially facilitate higher resolution as compared to the optical techniques. Proton microscopy with similar to 1 MeV protons has been shown to have reasonable inherent contrast between sub-cellular organelles. However, being a transmission-based modality, it is unsuitable for in vivo studies and cannot facilitate three-dimensional imaging from a single raster scan. Here, we propose proton-induced acoustic microscopy (PrAM), a technique based on pulsed proton irradiation and proton-induced acoustic signal collection. This technique is capable of label-free, super-resolution, 3D imaging with a single raster scan. Converting radiation energy into ultrasound enables PrAM with reflection mode detection, making it suitable for in vivo imaging and probing deeper than proton scanning transmission ion microscopy (STIM). Using a proton STIM image of HeLa cells, a coupled Monte Carlo+k-wave simulations-based feasibility study has been performed to demonstrate the capabilities of PrAM. We demonstrate that sub-50 nm lateral (depending upon the beam size and energy) and sub-micron axial resolution (based on acoustic detection bandwidth and proton beam pulse width) can be obtained using the proposed modality. By enabling visualization of biological phenomena at cellular and subcellular levels, this high-resolution microscopic technique enhances understanding of intricate cellular processes.
