Figure 3.
2D and 3D images of DNA by Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM) scanning of mica surface (5 × 5 μm, scale bar: 200 nm) prepared by the solution of thiolated probes (2D: a, 3D: c) and self assembled DNAs (2D: b, 3D: d). AFM image of a 2 × 2 μm (scale bar: 100 nm) window of AuNPs incubated with thiolated probes (e) and self assembled DNAs (f), showing the dimensions difference between particles. Aggregated and dispersed states of AuNPs in blank (g) and test sample (h) after addition of high salt (10 × 10 μm).
