Imaging of weak electromagnetic signals with sub-cellular resolution under life sustaining conditions is of great importance in the context of life science, but could not be achieved yet. A diamond doped with a shallow layer of nitrogen-vacancy centers (NV) potentially fulfills this requirements. The spin state of a single negatively charged NV center can be optically polarized and read out. Measuring the local Zeeman shift and spin state lifetime of several NVs enables to determine the magnetic fields in the vicinity of the Diamond. Using a wide-field microscopy technique, we can simultaneously capture the signal of a 60*m x 60*m area of the diamond surface on a CCD camera with diffraction limited resolution. Here we present the investigation of different magnetic species as marker for magnetic cell imaging via microfluidic detection. We also evaluate the feasibility of label-free imaging using this technique.
