Claim 22:
23. A method for characterizing a biological specimen selected from isolated cells, isolated tissue sections, viruses, capsids, and cellular components selected from cellular nuclei, nucleic acids, mitochondria, antigenic proteins and receptors, comprising:
preparing an electroluminescent assembly comprising:
applying a biological specimen in contact with a dielectric layer,
applying a quantity of an electroluminescent material in the form of semiconductor particles, and
applying a substrate to the biological specimen and electroluminescent material;

positioning the electroluminescent assembly between a pair of electrodes;
transmitting an electrical signal from a power source by means of the pair of electrodes through the electroluminescent assembly, wherein the transmission of the electrical signal through the electroluminescent assembly causes electroluminescence to be produced;
capturing the electroluminescence using a microscope, wherein the presence and characteristics of the biological specimen determine one or more electroluminescence properties; and
relating the one or more electroluminescence properties of the electroluminescence to at least one characteristic of the biological specimen.
