11. As pure PSS is not a conjugated polymer, it has a very low conductivity, resulting from ionic conduction only.

23. Actually, the tip will penetrate to reach a conductive region that is connected to the substrate electrode via a conducting path. Isolated PEDOT-rich particles will therefore be invisible as well.

29. Unfortunately, the sweep speed could not sufficiently be lowered to verify this hypothesis because of drift became more important as the feedback system is switched off longer.
