Covering state-of-the-art advances, novel applications, and future perspectives, this volume
presents new directions on the basic studies of charged particle and photon interactions with …

Studies of charged particle guiding through capillaries in insulating materials, performed
during the last decade, are reviewed in a comprehensive manner. First, the principles of …

In this review we describe major contributions of light and electron microscopic approaches
to the present understanding of functional nuclear architecture. The large gap of knowledge …

We present here a cell surgery scheme involving selective inactivation or disruption of
cellular structures. Energetic ions are injected into a cell through a tapered glass capillary …

Microbeam facilities provide a unique opportunity to investigate the effects of ionising
radiation on living biological cells with a precise control of the delivered dose. This paper …

Alpha-particle irradiation of cells damages not only the irradiated cells but also nontargeted
bystander cells. It has been proposed that the bystander effect is caused by oxidants and …

Research concerning cellular responses to low dose irradiation, radiation-induced
bystander effects, and the biological track structure of charged particles has recently …

We describe a new setup at the ion microprobe SNAKE (Superconducting Nanoscope for
Applied nuclear (Kern-) physics Experiments) at the Munich 14 MV Tandem accelerator that …

The energy and specific energy absorbed in the main cell compartments (nucleus and
cytoplasm) in typical radiobiology experiments are usually estimated by calculations as they …

Charged particle microbeams provide unique features to study targeted and non-targeted
radiation response and have recently emerged as a powerful tool to investigate radiation …
