Abstract

To investigate the response of cell to the terahertz wave, both the pulsed and CW THz wave systems are employed. The THz wave systems include TDS broadband pulsed THz system(0.3-3 THz), narrowband CW BWO vacuum THz generator, (0.5 THz)and narrowband CW Gunn diode THz generator(0.3 THz). THz imaging of a ratpsilas paraffin-embedded epithelial cell with tumor is studied.
