The nanoendoscopy-AFM technique allows for imaging of actin fiber 3D maps and membrane inner scaffold 2D nanodynamics inside living cells without affecting cell viability. This overcomes the limitations of current nanoimaging techniques by directly accessing intracellular components with AFM capabilities.
Atomic force microscopy (AFM) is the only technique that allows label-free imaging of nanoscale biomolecular dynamics, playing a crucial role in solving biological questions that cannot be addressed by other major bioimaging tools (fluorescence or electron microscopy). However, such imaging is possible only for systems either extracted from cells or reconstructed on solid substrates. Thus, nanodynamics inside living cells largely remain inaccessible with the current nanoimaging techniques. Here, we overcome this limitation by nanoendoscopy-AFM, where a needle-like nanoprobe is inserted into a living cell, presenting actin fiber three-dimensional (3D) maps, and 2D nanodynamics of the membrane inner scaffold, resulting in undetectable changes in cell viability. Unlike previous AFM methods, the nanoprobe directly accesses the target intracellular components, exploiting all the AFM capabilities, such as high-resolution imaging, nanomechanical mapping, and molecular recognition. These features should greatly expand the range of intracellular structures observable in living cells.
