A probe arrangement with a probe for local electrophysiological analysis of cells () such as patch-clamp techniques for use with atomic force microscopy, has a probe with a cantilever arm () connected to a probe holder (). The probe has a probe tip () at a probing end () of the cantilever arm () and a fluid channel () in the cantilever arm () connecting a probe tip aperture () with a fluid reservoir () via a duct (). The fluid channel (), the duct () and the fluid reservoir () are adapted to be filled with a fluid solution () enabling ion transport for electrophysiological analysis. A first electrode () for electrophysiological analysis is placed in the fluid reservoir () and/or in the duct () and/or in the fluid channel ().
