Abstract

We address the modelling of tip–cell membrane interactions under high speed atomic force microscopy. Using a home-made device with a scanning area of 100 × 100 μm2, in situ imaging of living cells is successfully performed under loading rates from 1 to 50 Hz, intending to enable detailed descriptions of physiological processes in living samples.
