Abstract

The change of shape and elemental concentration of cellular samples in In-Air micro PIXE analysis was investigated. Cultured bovine aortic endothelial cells were analyzed in the atmosphere by using 2.6 MeV proton micro-beams. The shape of cross-sections of cells was not so much distorted by beam irradiation and the concentrations of trace elements did not change too, except for S. The concentration of S changed with strongly depending on the temperature rise due to beam irradiation.
