Abstract
Reproducible, high-contrast, nanometer-resolution AFM images of uncoated plasmid DNA can be obtained with nanogram quantities of DNA with the help of two advances in sample preparation: (1) Heating a DNA solution at 35 degrees C for 10 to 20 minutes before deposition on mica helps separate and spread the DNA, and (2) Using 5 microliter drops of the heated DNA solution in the concentration range of 2 to 10 nanogram/microliter in contact with a specially prepared mica surface for 5 to 10 minutes gives optimal coverage with only nanograms of DNA.Entities:
