| Method | In order to precisely characterise their morphological structure before irradiation (hence allowing a precise dosimetry), yeast cells have been analysed with different experimental techniques including: optical microscopy, TEM, X-ray microscopy and Coulter Counter. Researchers wanted to measure the cell average radius ro, the total membrane and wall thickness DS, and the nucleus radius rN. |
