Abstract :
A novel surface plasmon resonance (SPR) microscope/imager which allows for both angular and wavelength scanning has been constructed. Images of mesenchymal stem cells were obtained using this versatile instrument and found to be superior in clarity to those captured by the angular scanning dependent SPR microscopy/imaging techniques.
