Nanoscale imaging of live cells. (a) AFM deflection image in aqueous solution revealing rodlets on the surface of an Aspergillus fumigatus spore. (b) Image recorded on the same spore after 3 h germination, indicating that the crystalline rodlet layer has disappeared, revealing the underlying amorphous polysaccharide cell wall. (c) Image obtained for an A. fumigatus mutant deficient in rodlet production showing similar morphology as inb
