Visualizing presence of ionic electrically charged particles including virus particles and bacteria particles on a surface

A system for visualizing presence of virus and/or bacteria particles on a surface, the system comprising:

• a transmitter configured to transmit one or more millimeter wave and/or terahertz output signals toward a surface, the one or more output signals configured to trigger a resonant frequency of an ionic electrically charged particle with an electro-chemical valence shell on the surface, wherein the ionic electrically charged particle with electro-chemical valence shell comprises a virus particle or a bacteria particle;
• a receiver configured to receive a triggered frequency dependent electromagnetic response received from the particle;
• and
• a processor configured to:
• determine a location of the particle based on the electromagnetic response;
• and
• generate a visual representation of the particle on the surface based on the location.

A method for visualizing presence of virus and/or bacteria particles on a surface, the method comprising:

• transmitting one or more millimeter wave and/or terahertz output signals toward a surface, the one or more output signals configured to be absorbed by an ionic electrically charged particle with an electro-chemical valence shell on the surface, wherein the ionic electrically charged particle with electro-chemical valence shell comprises a virus particle or a bacteria particle;
• determining a location of the particle based on a frequency dependent electromagnetic response of the output signals reflected off of the surface, wherein the frequency dependent electromagnetic response comprises a relative lack of energy at one or more frequencies of the output signals absorbed by the particle;
• and
• generating a visual representation of the particle on the surface based on the location.
