Paper Title
Capability of Low Voltage Scanning Electron Microscope to differentiate Cervical Cell Classes
Abstract
Field Emission Scanning Electron Microscopy (FE-SEM) has become a popular imaging tool to elucidate the structure of a material at the micro-and/or the nano-scale level. Due to the great capability of the FE-SEM in characterizing the biological material, this study has investigated the capability of the FE-SEM to differentiate the cervical cell to be three classes. The classes are normal, low-grade squamous intraepithelial lesion (LSIL), and carcinoma. The cervical cells are scanned using FE-SEM including Energy Dispersive X-ray (EDX) and line scanning process. The results of the scanning are presented in electron images as qualitative results, and containing elements as quantitative results in this paper. Based on the quantitative results, FE-SEM has shown a great capability to differentiate the cervical cell classes.
