Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
In the 1960s, scientists and engineers were excited about the electron-microscopic world that they had never seen before. A new image view produces many new hypotheses of them. Nowadays, image sensors that capture ions and biological substances in aqueous solution are also starting to provide new images and movies. In particular, the development of ion image sensors is expected in biological fields.
This Special Issue is seeking papers aimed at or realizing ion image sensors using array devices. Although there are many imaging investigations using microscopic methods with ion-sensing fluorescent substances or its applications, this Issue does not seek them. Label-free, uninvasive, and unskilled imaging methods are favorable, in order to observe as it is. The development of the array devices using state-of-the-art technologies is welcome, even if it is primitive for the aims of the ion image sensor. Regarding the applications of array-type ion image sensors, diverse ion image investigations including corrosion, foods, and crops, are also welcome as well as the bioimaging of cells, tissues, and small organisms.
We are very grateful to you concerning the Special Issue entitled “Ion Imaging Sensors using Array Devices”.

Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Sensors is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2600 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
