We applied force spectroscopy based on atomic force microscope (AFM) to demonstrate the possibility of measuring the interaction force between single quantum-dots (QDs) and living cells at single particle level under native conditions. In the force–distance cycle, we recorded the events of cellular uptake of single QDs and single QD detachment from the cell.We applied force spectroscopy based on atomic force microscope (AFM) to demonstrate the possibility of measuring the interaction force between single quantum-dots (QDs) and living cells at single particle level under native conditions.
