Abstract :
We evaluate the damage on living cells induced by electron beam irradiation. Cell viability is observed with a fluorescence microscope. Electron beam induced damage is evaluated by the comparison of fluorescence images obtained before and after the electron beam irradiation. After electron beam irradiation, a bleb related to cell injury was observed and cell viability signal was decreased on the irradiated cell.
