Scanning Probe Microscopy
"Seeing is Believing"

We employ scanning ion conductance microscopy (SICM) and atomic force microscopy (AFM) to noninvasively scan the surface of biological membrane mimics and live cells to investigate biological interactions at the membrane interface under physiologically relevant conditions with nanometer resolution. These imaging capabilities are unmet by other analytical techniques available today.
