We have developed a hybrid scanning ion conductance and scanning near-field optical microscope for the study of living cells. The technique allows quantitative, high-resolution characterization of the cell surface and the simultaneous recording of topographic and optical images. A particular feature of the method is a reliable mechanism to control the distance between the probe and the sample in physiological buffer. We demonstrate this new method by recording near-field images of living cells (cardiac myocytes).
我们开发了一种用于研究活细胞的混合扫描离子电导与扫描近场光学显微镜。该技术能够对细胞表面进行定量、高分辨率表征,并同时记录形貌和光学图像。此方法的一个特别之处在于,它拥有一种在生理缓冲液中控制探针与样品之间距离的可靠机制。我们通过记录活细胞(心肌细胞)的近场图像来展示这种新方法。
