Abstract: The applications of atomic force microscopy in cell biology have been introduced simply in the paper. Several problems, such as recognition of surface structures of cell and observation in situ of inner structure of cell, were discussed; what's more, "shape probe" and superthin section were put forward to solve the problems. At present, AFM has not been used widely in cell biology. It urges the necessity for studies of more researchers.
