Since this observation requires interfacial measurements between the cell and the substrate, we employ scanning localized surface plasmon microscopy. We experimentally show that focal adhesion sites of a mouse muscle cell can be observed without fluorescent labeling. We also show that a non-scanning surface plasmon microscope combined with the scanning localized surface plasmon microscope contributes to observing an entire cell adhesion site and identify regions of interest. en-copyright= kn-copyright= en-aut-name=WatanabeKoyo en-aut-sei=Watanabe en-aut-mei=Koyo kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=1 ORCID= en-aut-name=MatsuuraKoji en-aut-sei=Matsuura en-aut-mei=Koji kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=2 ORCID= en-aut-name=KawataFukukazu en-aut-sei=Kawata en-aut-mei=Fukukazu kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=3 ORCID= en-aut-name=NagataKotaro en-aut-sei=Nagata en-aut-mei=Kotaro kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=4 ORCID= en-aut-name=NingJun en-aut-sei=Ning en-aut-mei=Jun kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=5 ORCID= en-aut-name=KanoHiroshi en-aut-sei=Kano en-aut-mei=Hiroshi kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=6 ORCID= affil-num=1 en-affil= kn-affil=Research Core for Interdisciplinary Sciences, Okayama University affil-num=2 en-affil= kn-affil=Research Core for Interdisciplinary Sciences, Okayama University affil-num=3 en-affil= kn-affil=Division of Information and Electronic Engineering, Graduate School of Engineering, Muroran Institute of Technology affil-num=4 en-affil= kn-affil=Division of Information and Electronic Engineering, Graduate School of Engineering, Muroran Institute of Technology affil-num=5 en-affil= kn-affil=Division of Engineering for Composite Functions, Graduate School of Engineering, Muroran Institute of Technology affil-num=6 en-affil= kn-affil=Division of Engineering for Composite Functions, Graduate School of Engineering, Muroran Institute of Technology END
