34. For a similar situation enforced within a confined microfluidic channel compare the following: Fosdick, S. E.; Crooks, J. A.; Chang, B. Y.; Crooks, R. M. J. Am. Chem. Soc. 2010, 132, 9226-9227
35. We use the term "perfect collector" to enforce the view that it may perform over its whole probed area of importance for the diffusional coupling with the tip as a biased collecting electrode whose potential is poised on the redox plateau of the species to be recycled ("Red" in Figure 4). (4c) This corresponds to the boundary condition imposed in the present theories of SECM developed for reversible charge transfers and infinitely sized conducting substrates. (7)
