Infrared Imaging of Skin Cancer Cell Treated with Copper Oxide and Silver Nanoparticles

Abstract

Copper oxide and silver nanoparticles were used to treat the skin cancer cell with different concentrations, such: (5, 10 and 15ml) at a mixing ratio of 1:1. The characterization of skin cancer lesions pics was taken using a super speed monochrome CMOS camera (Model: ZWO, ASI 120 MM-S). Also, the effect of exposure time on the IR radiation was studied using an IR source connected to this camera. The MTT assay measured cell viability against the control sample cell lines. The results show that both copper oxide and silver nanoparticles appear a high activity against the skin cancer cell line. Keywords: IR imaging, Skin cancer cell, Nanoparticles, MTT assay.
