The reduction in ion current as a fine pipette approaches a cell surface allows the cell surface topography to be imaged, with nanoscale resolution, without contact with the delicate cell surface. A variety of different methods have been developed and refined to scan the topography of the dynamic cell surface at high resolution and speed. Measurement of cell topography can be complemented by performing local probing or mapping of the cell surface using the same pipette. This can be done by performing single-channel recording, applying force, delivering agonists, using pipettes fabricated to contain an electrochemical probe, or combining with fluorescence imaging. These methods in combination have great potential to image and map the surface of live cells at the nanoscale.
