The Quantum Diamond Microscope (QDM) uses ensembles of Nitrogen-Vacancy (NV) centers in diamond to perform high resolution, wide field of view magnetic imaging. An important application of the QDM is magnetic imaging of biological samples to further medical sciences. A sample of particular interest is Silk Fibroin (SF) films doped in magnetic nanoparticles. These samples are a potential therapy for spinal cord regeneration, which is currently not curable. In this work, SF films doped in various concentrations of ferric chloride hexahydrate were imaged and characterized in the QDM for the first time. We showed that higher ferric chloride hexahydrate concentrations result in higher magnetic signal that largely contains paramagnetic properties.
