Abstract

An X-band electron spin resonance (ESR) imaging apparatus with a pin-hole TE₁₀₂ mode cavity and a rapid scan coil was constructed. Using this apparatus, ESR imaging of melanin in mouse B16 melanoma was observed for the first time. The ESR spectrum of B16 melanoma is similar to that of natural melanin extracted from sepia officinalis in microwave power dependence.
