Imaging and Conductivity of Biological and Organic Material

  • Chapter
Scanning Tunneling Microscopy and Related Methods

Part of the book series: NATO ASI Series ((NSSE,volume 184))

Abstract

I review the state of the art of scanning tunneling microscopy in biology, and present STM images of coated and uncoated biological macromolecules. I further discuss the electron-transfer mechanisms which allow STM imaging of mesoscopic organic objects.
