Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM) is used to measure the stiffness and Young's modulus of individual microcapsules that have a chitosan cross-linked shell encapsulating tetradecane.

In this report, three kinds of scanning probe microscopy techniques, atomic force microscopy (AFM), confocal microscopy (CM), and scanning electrochemical microscopy (SECM), were used to study live cells in the physiological environment. Two model cell lines, CV-1 and COS-7, were studied. Time-lapse images were obtained with both contact and tapping mode AFM techniques. Cells were more easily scratched or moved by contact mode AFM than by tapping mode AFM. Detailed surface structures such as filamentous structures on the cell membrane can be obtained and easily discerned with tapping mode AFM. The toxicity of ferrocenemethanol (Fc) on live cells was studied by CM in reflection mode by recording the time-lapse images of controlled live cells and live cells with different Fc concentrations. No significant change in the morphology of cells was caused by Fc. Cells were imaged by SECM with Fc as the mediator at a biased potential of 0.35 V (vs. Ag/AgCl with a saturated KCl solution). Cells did not change visibly within 1 h, which indicated that SECM was a noninvasive technique and thus has a unique advantage for the study of soft cells, since the electrode scanned above the cells instead of in contact with them. Reactive oxygen species (ROS) generated by the cells were detected and images based on these chemical species were obtained. It is demonstrated that SECM can provide not only the topographical images but also the images related to the chemical or biochemical species released by the live cells.Key words: live cells, atomic force microscopy, confocal microscopy, scanning electrochemical microscopy.

Earlier electrophysiological measurements on live secretory cells suggested the presence of fusion pores at the plasma membrane, where secretory vesicles fuse to release vesicular contents. Recent studies using atomic force microscopy demonstrate for the first time the presence of the fusion pore and reveal its morphology and dynamics at near-nanometer resolution and in real time.
