    Abstract

    We have developed a Linnik-type interference microscope provided with a low-coherent light source to obtain topographic images of an intact cellular membrane on a nanometer scale. Our technique is based on measurement of the interference between light reflected from the cell surface and a reference beam. The results show full field surface topography of cultured cells and reveal an intrinsic membrane motion of tens of nanometers.
