Graphene as a transparent conductive support for studying biological molecules by transmission electron microscopy
arXiv:1010.4888 · doi:10.1063/1.3492845
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.
