Raster images of 100 × 00 µm of an epitaxial Si{111} surface area with human buccal epithelium cells located on it, obtained by contact AFM scanning in constant force mode: relief \(h(x;y)\) (the black arrow indicates the location of the nucleus, white arrows—some organelles and micronuclei inside the cell) (a), and a 5 × 5 µm relief of the surface area of the shell of immobilized cell of the buccal epithelium after 2.5 h and the destruction of the initial mosaic structure of the shell, coagulation of its protein and the formation of peptidoglycan dendrite (b).
