Scanning electrochemical microscopy (SECM) is a scanning probe microscope with an ultramicroelectrode (UME) as a probe. The technique is advantageous in the characterization of the electrochemical properties of surfaces. However, the limitations, such as slow imaging and many functions depending on the user, only allow us to use some of the possibilities.
