Abstract
A wealth of data point to Delayed Luminescence (DL) as a good candidate for early and reliable detection technique in neoplastic cells and tissues sorting. Aiming at a DL experimental set up for such a kind of information, a testing technique for morphological analysis should be provided. As such, a strong link among others was reported to exist between DL signal characteristics and cytoskeleton structure and dynamics: Focused Ion Beam (FIB) imaging was for the moment being the best non invasive check at all and it can detect morphological alterations as early as possible since its resolution can go down to 2-5 nm.
