a, b Height and phase profiles of Shewanella oneidensis MR-1 bacterial cells subjected to repetitive scans by a commercial tip. c, d Height and phase profiles of Shewanella oneidensis MR-1 bacterial cells after repetitive scans of an RIE-etched CMA tip (a = 5 μm) (Supplementary Fig. 20). The scanning times are marked at the top right corner of each figure. e, f AFM imaging of fibroblasts with the etched CMA tip (a = 5 μm). Scale bars are 400 nm for a–d and 5 μm for e, f.
