CMOS based ion image sensor — fusion of bio sensor technology and image sensor technology

Non Labeled Image Sensing technology is strategic research area in bio-medical field. By combining imaging sensors with chemical sensors has developed novel ion image sensor that can visualize specific ions from cells in real time. Ions are crucial for sustaining the activities of living things, and understanding their behavior is critical for developing innovative drugs and devices based on chemical reactions. If we could make photographing ion movement as simple as releasing the shutter on a digital camera, we could visualize unseen phenomena and contribute to creating a new industry. We has invented a simpler, more precise system that converts the quantity of ions into the quantity of electrons and allows changes in the ion distribution to be visualized in real time.
