This book details the development of advanced scanning electrochemical microscopy (SECM) techniques for high-resolution imaging of biological samples. The author, Tzu-En Lin, presents novel SECM imaging methods applicable to diverse biological systems, including animal tissue, plant defense mechanisms, and human melanoma. The research demonstrates SECM's potential in improving diagnostic accuracy by mapping critical biomarkers like tyrosinase, an enzyme relevant to both fruit maturation and melanoma progression. The book further explores the application of SECM in visualizing injected nanomaterials for drug delivery and assessing antioxidant activity in plant tissues.

The book presents a detailed exploration of Soft-Probe-SECM techniques, highlighting their utility in biological imaging and diagnostics. The research showcases the application of these methods across various biological systems, from animal tissues to plant and human samples. The focus on tyrosinase distribution in melanoma and fruit samples, as well as protein imaging in mouse hearts, suggests a strong emphasis on practical, high-resolution mapping capabilities. The inclusion of nanomaterial tracking and antioxidant activity assessment further broadens the scope of its potential applications in scientific research and medical diagnosis.
