Summary:High resolution scanning probe microscopy images of DNA and RNA molecules, tobacco mosaic virus particles, growing lysozyme crystals, and bacterial cells are shown. The main advantage of scanning probe microscopy lies in the visualization of dynamic processes in biological systems in environmental conditions, e.g. in liquid media. Some results obtained during observation of lysozyme protein crystal growth in solution and bacterial cellular wall degradation due to lysozyme treatment are presented.
