This work deals with localized electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (LEIS) which is an improved technique of the commonly used electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS). Thanks to modern structural solutions, the LEIS technique ensures local impedance measurement. Therefore, it is used in the research into point corrosion, such as the pitting corrosion, and in the research into protective coatings or into alloys including alloy steels. This review paper presents the basic theory and the usability of the LEIS based on the literature on the newest research in the field of corrosion.
