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.
