Nahfeld-Mikroskopie und -Spektroskopie an biologischen und medizinischen Systemen

该提案的主要目的是利用近场显微镜和光谱学研究生物和医疗系统中电磁场的局部效应，光谱范围从微波和毫米范围(GHz到THz)到红外范围。一方面，这需要开发新的高效微米和亚微米尺寸的近场探测器，以将这些方法的分辨率提高到单个细胞或几个细胞。另一方面，我们计划在电磁频谱的不同区域进行系统的研究，提供补充信息的定义良好的模型系统，这将导致新的成像方法，并可能产生新的生物医学应用。该提案是一个国际性和跨学科的项目，在许多领域都有很大的影响。除了广泛交换样本、科学家和技术诀窍外，与生物和医疗部门的密切合作也是必不可少的。这项三方建议的最终目标是在圣城大学建立一个强有力的实验物理和生物医学研究计划。

The main purpose of the proposal is to study local effects of electromagnetic fields in biological and medical systems using near-field microscopy and spectroscopy spanning a wide range of wavelengths from the microwave and millimeter range (GHz to THz) to the infrared range. This requires, an the one hand, the development of new highly efficient micron-size and submicron-size near-field probes to increase the resolution of these methods down to a single cell or a few cells. Ort the other hand, we plan systematic investigations an well-defined model systems at different regions of the electromagnetic spectrum giving complementary information which lead to new imaging methods and possibly new biomedical applications. The proposal is an international and interdisciplinary project with a large impact an a number of fields. Beside an extensive exchange of samples, scientists and know-how technicalities, a strong collaboration with the biology and medical departments is essential. The final goal of this trilateral proposal is to establish a vigorous research program in experimental physics and bio-medical research at Al-Quds University.
