Living Rat-2 cells

AFM cell imaging using the FlexAFM on an inverted microscope. Details of the cell's cytoskeleton are readily discernible through the cell membrane using AFM.


AFM cell image of living Rat-2 cells in cell culture medium. The deflection image was recorded with a Nanosurf FlexAFM installed on a Zeiss Axiovert inverted microscope. Image size: 60 µm × 60 µm.
