Scanning electrochemical microscopy (SECM) and the scanning vibrating electrode technique (SVET) were used to discern localanodic and cathodic sites at the surface. The electrochemical activity in the galvanic pair was greatly reducedwhen the copper surface was covered with an MBI-containing film. SECM was successfully applied to visualizespatially resolved differences in local electrochemical activity related to the inhibitor action.
