FIG. 3. AFM height image (6 µm by 6 µm; z range, 1.5 µm), in aqueous solution, of a single Saccharomyces cerevisiae cell trapped in a porous membrane. The cell (C) is located at the center of the image, while the surrounding flat area represents the polymer membrane (M). The 1-µm circular protrusion is attributed to a bud scar (S). Note that the cell is surrounded by an artifactual structure (A) resulting from the contact between the AFM probe and the pore edges.
