Scanning acoustic microscopy imaging of cellular structural and mechanical alterations from external stimuli

Cells incur structural and functional damage from external stimuli. Under scanning acoustic microscopy (SAM), speed of sound (SOS), attenuation, and thickness values are plotted to visualize cellular stiffness, viscosity, and size. The obtained digital data are then compared using statistical analys...
