Abstract In this work the tribological properties of membranes of human buccal epithelium cells of adult in the presence of a protective adsorption buffer layer of ~ 100 nm on their surface were studied using atomic force microscopy in the contact scanning mode. Local mapping of the tribological characteristics of the surface was carried out, viz. friction F L = F L (x, y) and adhesion F adh = F adh ( x , y ) forces were measured.
