The basic SECM device is quite simple and consists of four main elements:
an electrochemical cell, including the UME probe, sample, reference electrode and counter-electrode (for simplicity, in some cases the reference electrode can also be used as a counter-electrode);
a device for monitoring the relative positions of the UME and the substrate;
a simple potentiostat or a bipotentiostat, if...
