Article: Graphene as a transparent conductive support for studying biological molecules by transmission electron microscopy
[show abstract] [hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: We demonstrate the application of graphene as a support for imaging individual biological molecules in transmission electron microscope (TEM). A simple procedure to produce free-standing graphene membranes has been designed. Such membranes are extremely robust and can support practically any sub-micrometer object. Tobacco mosaic virus has been deposited on graphene samples and observed in a TEM. High contrast has been achieved even though no staining has been applied.Applied Physics Letters 10/2010; 97(15):153102. · 3.84 Impact Factor
