We have developed an effective approach to stretching DNA molecules with the flow of fluid generated by spin coating. Well-stretched DNA molecules were observed using atomic force microscopy. Substrate properties sensitively affected the stretching behavior of DNA. Our experimental findings revealed

DNA molecules immobilized on mica surface by various methods have been observed by atomic force microscopy both in air and in liquid. Divalent cations and 3-aminopropyltriethoxysilane (APTES) modified mica surface have been used to immobilize the DNA molecules. Optimal DNA and divalent cations conce
## Abstract This short paper reports a simple method to image low density lipoproteins (LDL) using atomic force microscopy (AFM). This instrument allows imaging of biological samples in liquid and presents the advantage of needing no sample preparation such as staining or fixation that may affect t
