In an effort to establish the viability of using an AFM for studying chemically treated quartz, several tests were made on quartz slides. The images below illustrate the results of experiments on streptavidin coated quartz slides.
AFM image of streptavidin on a fused quartz substrate. The right image is a zoomed in view (2.3 µm × 2.3 µm) of the image at the left (10 µm × 10 µm). These images were acquired in ambient air with the "close contact" mode.
