The in‐plane conductivity of conjugated polymer monolayers is mapped here for the first time on the microscale using a novel scanning micro four‐point probe (see Figure). The probe allows the source, drain, and voltage electrodes to be positioned within the same domain and the mapping results demonstrate how microscopic ordering in the polymer domains controls the conductivity.
