Abstract The investigation of native nuclear pore complexes (NPCs) with single‐molecule force spectroscopy requires stable and non‐destructive attachment of the nuclear envelope. Modified, micro‐structured PDMS turns out to be perfectly suited for membrane preparation as it preserves structure and function of the entire NPC, as shown on p. 1553 by A. Ebner et al.
