Scanning ion conductance microscopy: A nanotechnology for biological studies in live cells

Scanning ion conductance microscope (SICM), which enables high-resolution imaging of cell surface topography, has been developed for over two decades. However, only recently, a unique scanning mode is increasingly used in biological studies to allow SICM to detect the surface of live cells. More rec...
