✦ Synopsis

Atomic force microscopy has been used to investigate the morphology of isotactic polystyrene lamellae growth from the melt in very thin films (~ 50 nm in thickness). It is shown that atomic force microscopy can elucidate the crystal morphology and provide quantitative measurements of the step height (between successive crystal layers of a spiral overgrowth terrace) corresponding to the long spacing, provided suitable procedures are employed.

## Abstract The formation of holes during the late stage of the isothermal crystallization in thin films of isotactic poly(propylene) between two cover glasses was observed by light microscopy and atomic force microscopy. This behavior can be described consistently by the well‐known negative pressu
