They\nachieved their results by adding the frequency as a second fundamental\ndimension to quantitative dielectric microscopy thereby demonstrating the possibilities\nof broadband dielectric microscopy for the investigation of dynamic processes\nin cell bioelectricity at the individual molecular level. Furthermore, the\ntechnique may also shed light on local dynamic processes in related materials\nscience applications like semiconductor research or nano-electronics.*<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The corresponding topography and C\u2032\u2032(z)\/C\u2032\u2032dry(z) profile lines are shown in (c). Solid lines correspond to profile lines at 10 kHz and the dashed line to 1 MHz. (d) Normalized dielectric spectra on the substrate and protein membrane at constant height z\u2032 = 15 nm and lift mode z = 15 nm. Black solid lines represent fitting with eqn (1) and (2). (e). Resulting complex dielectric functions \u03b5\u2032r(f) and \u03b5\u2032\u2032r(f)2 (using the relation \u03b5\u2032\u2032r(f) = \u2212(\u03c0\/2\u2202)\u03b5\u2032r\/\u2202ln(2\u03c0f)38).
All measurements are carried out at 25 \u00b0C using PtSi-FM tips from NANOSENSORS (Germany). Humidity was changed and left to stabilize for 2\u20133 hours. Imaging conditions were adjusted to maintain the lift distance for the dielectric images identical. <\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n
