Scanning Ion Conductance Microscopy: Non-Contact Imaging and Electrophysiology A new chapter in the study of living cells has opened with the introduction of scanning ion conductance microscopy (SICM). This advance will provide a unique and unprecedented opportunity in cell biology by enabling targeted localized stimulation and non-destructive monitoring of cellular activity heretofore inaccessible by other analytical techniques

Piezoresponse Force Microscopy: Principles and Applications
Electromechanical coupling is one of the fundamental mechanisms underlying the functionality of many materials. These include inorganic macro-molecular materials, such as piezo- and ferroelectrics, as well as many biological systems. This application note discusses the background, techniques, problems and solutions to piezoresponse force microscopy (PFM) measurements using the MFP-3D AFM and Cypher AFM from Asylum Research
