摘要
Selective plasma treatment of the recessed regions of the elastomer stamps is shown to alter the resultant protein patterns. Fluorescence microscopy is demonstrated to be an excellent tool to discriminate between regions of microcontact printed fluorescent dye-labelled albumin in polystyrene. Atomic force microscopy and shear force microscopy are used to provide high-resolution images of the patterned protein layers. The formation and characteristics of the patterns formed by these alternative strategies is discussed.
