| Scanning Vibration Electrode Technique (SVET) | Potential Difference/Current Density | Real time mechanistic information, 2D-3D data presentation, easy to set up, easily used with other techniques such as SIET | Time and sample size tradeoff, could be slow, cannot use high conductivity electrolyte of electrolyte is a concern |
| Scanning Electrochemical Microscopy (SECM) | Current/ Potential | Several modes of operation, can be combined with other techniques | Sometimes needs a redox active mediator, needs a bipotentiostat |
Localized EIS (LEIS) | Local Capacitance and Resistance | High sensitivity (1 nV), provides local impedance which cannot be obtained by any other method, good for insulated substrates | Stray inductance, could be slow |
| Scanning Kelvin Probe (SKP) | Work Function | No need of an electrolyte, short experiments | Low resolution of SKP |
| Scanning Ion-Selective Electrode Technique | Local pH, ion concentration | Can be combined with SVET, easy way to measure ion concentration | Fouling and damage to the ion selective electrode, resolution |
