| 20090260114 | SCANNING ION CONDUCTANCE MICROSCOPY FOR THE INVESTIGATION OF LIVING CELLS - A method for interrogating a surface using scanning probe microscopy comprises bringing a scanning probe into proximity with the surface and controlling the position of the probe relative to the surface to maintain a constant distance, characterized in that pressure is applied to the surface by a regulated flow of liquid through the probe, with subsequent monitoring of the position of the probe, wherein movement of the probe indicates a consequent movement of the surface. | 10-15-2009 |
