Microwave spectroscopy was used to probe the superfluid-Mott Insulator transition of a Bose-Einstein condensate in a 3D optical lattice. Using density dependent transition frequency shifts we were able to spectroscopically distinguish sites with different occupation numbers, and to directly image sites with occupation number n=1 to n=5 revealing the shell structure of the Mott Insulator phase. We use this spectroscopy to determine the onsite interaction and lifetime for individual shells.
