Abstract
Due to their distinctively opposite nature, simultaneous nanoscale imaging of 'soft' materials (e.g. biological species) and relatively harder materials (e.g. a metallic or polymeric medical device) is difficult. The difficulty becomes even more acute if chemical and electrical information are required at the same time. A hybrid nanoscope that combines electrical modes of scanning probe microscopy with confocal laser scanning microscopy and Raman spectroscopy can be used to meet this challenge.
