Scanning electron micrograph of BAECs on platinum plate patterned by ion implantation. (Note morphologic deformity of cells owing to effect of trypsin and glutaraldehyde.)
A, Day 5, areas A and B demonstrated uniform proliferation of BAECs.
B and C, Note strong BAEC adhesion only on circular ion-implanted protein-coated areas (original magnification, ×100 [for B]; ×400 [for C]).
