Brenner Center for Radiological Research, Columbia University 630 West 168th Street, 11th floor, New York, NY 10032 Abstract. The array of microbeam cell-irradiation systems, available to users at the Radiological Research Accelerator Facility (RARAF), Center for Radiological Research, Columbia University, is expanding. The HVE 5MV Singletron particle accelerator at the facility provides particles to two focused ion microbeam lines: the sub-micron microbeam II and the permanent magnetic microbeam (PMM). Both the electrostatic quadrupole lenses on the microbeam II system and the magnetic quadrupole lenses on the PMM system are arranged as compound lenses consisting of two quadrupole triplets with “Russian” symmetry. Also, the RARAF accelerator is a source for a proton-induced x-ray microbeam (undergoing testing) and is projected to supply protons to a neutron microbeam based on the 7Li(p,n)7Be nuclear reaction (under development). Leveraging from the multiphoton microscope technology integrated within the microbeam II endstation, a UV microspot irradiator – based on multiphoton excitation – is available for facility users. Highlights from radiation-biology demonstrations on single living mammalian cells are included in this review of microbeam systems for cell irradiation at RARAF.

Typical spacing between points along each more economical for radiation-research laboratories letter was 1 µm. because it excludes purchase of a particle accelerator and support electronics. Contrary to electrostatic or electromagnetic lenses, the PMM requires neither high precision voltage/current supplies nor cooling. The use of permanent magnets also allows a much tighter pole- face gap, providing better optical properties compared to electromagnetic lenses. Presently, the PMM is used for cell-irradiation experiments when development projects occupy the microbeam II endstation or beamline. Also, the PMM is used for development of point & shoot technology as well as microfluidics-based flow and shoot technology (FAST). Impetus for a point & shoot device is increased throughput. Pointing the beam with electromagnetic steering coils to cellular targets within a frame of view relies on electronic switching, which is inherently faster than moving a mechanical stage.

GartyÃ, G. J. Ross, A. W. Bigelow, G. Randers-Pehrson and D. J. Brenner Columbia University, Radiological Research Accelerator Facility, 136 S. Broadway, Irvington, NY 10533, USA The stand-alone microbeam at Columbia University presents a novel approach to biological microbeam irradiation studies. Foregoing a conventional accelerator as a source of energetic ions, a small, high-specific-activity, alpha emitter is used. Alpha particles emitted from this source are focused using a compound magnetic lens consisting of 24 permanent magnets arranged in two quadrupole triplets. Using a ‘home made’ 6.5 mCi polonium source, a 1 alpha particle s–1,10lm diameter microbeam can, in principle, be realised. As the alpha source energy is constant, once the microbeam has been set up, no further adjustments are necessary apart from a periodic replacement of the source. The use of permanent magnets eliminates the need for bulky power supplies and cooling systems required by other types of ion lenses and greatly simplifies operation. It also makes the microbeam simple and cheap enough to be realised in any large lab. The Microbeam design as well as first tests of its performance, using an accelerator-based beam are presented here. INTRODUCTION AND OVERALL DESIGN the lenses.

  • Expanding the Question-Answering Potential of Single-Cell Microbeams at RARAF, USA

Charged-particle microbeams, developed to provide targeted irradiation of individual cells, and then of sub-cellular components, and then of 3-D tissues and now organisms, have been instrumental in chal- lenging and changing long accepted paradigms of radiation action. However the potential of these valuable tools can be enhanced by integrating additional components with the direct ability to measure biological responses in real time, or to manipulate the cell, tissue or organism of interest under conditions where information gained can be optimized. The RARAF microbeam has recently undergone an accelerator upgrade, and been modified to allow for multiple microbeam irradiation laboratories. Researchers with divergent interests have expressed desires for particular modalities to be made available and ongoing developments reflect these desires. The focus of this review is on the design, incorporation and use of mul- tiphoton and other imaging, micro-manipulation and single cell biosensor capabilities at RARAF. Addi- tionally, an update on the status of the other biology oriented microbeams in the Americas is provided. west National Laboratory,4) the Gray Cancer Institute,5,6) and INTRODUCTION Columbia University.7) Since that time, the number

Here, to elucidate the IR-induced disturbance of embryonic development when IR exposure occurs during the pre-implantation period, we utilized medaka as a vertebrate model for clear observation of developmental process for its transparency.
