This dissertation by Andreas Skallberg explores the use of photoemission-based surface analytical techniques to study biological phenomena at the cellular and molecular levels. It focuses on visualizing neutrophils, a type of white blood cell, using advanced imaging methods like X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and photoemission electron microscopy. The research highlights the formation of extracellular traps in neutrophils and the application of nanoparticles as contrast agents in magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). The study also presents innovations in reducing annealing temperatures in silicon-based processes using europium-doped gadolinium oxide nanoparticles. This work is intended for researchers and professionals in nanotechnology, biology, and medical imaging, aiming to enhance understanding and applications of analytical imaging tools.
