Abstract
Because it can be used to perform electrochemical experiments with a very high spatial resolution, the scanning electrochemical microscope has, in the last six years, excited a great deal of interests. An attempt is made to define the principles of the technique, describe the instrumentation, highlight some of the theoretical aspects and review the applications with an emphasis on imaging, microfabrication and electroanalytical measurements.
