The lack of electrical conductivity and the constant molecular mobility of organic molecules have, in the past, restricted the successful imaging of these systems by STM. Recently, however, a number of new organic systems have been imaged. Jürgen Rabe reports on these new developments and in the future will write regularly for ADVANCED MATERIALS on surface analysis techniques especially scanning microscopy methods.
