FIGURE 2

Typical approach-retract force curve on poly-l-lysinated mica. The positively charged surface induces an attractive force of a few hundred pN on approach and, upon retraction, a strong adhesion force of >2 nN. No punchthrough of the polylysine layer is observed, which is an indication of a tightly-packed layer.
