In this paper, single cell adhesion force was measured using a nanofork. The nanofork was used to pick-up a single cell on a line-patterned substrate inside ESEM. The line-patterned substrate was used to provide small gaps between the single cells and the substrate. Therefore, the nanofork could be...
