摘要：

Bacteriophage T4 was imaged by atomic force microscopy with the finest resolution to date with a clear image of tail fibers of an estimated diameter of 2-3 nm. T4 phages were spread on a clean surface of silicon wafer and dried under air before observation with an atomic force microscope. The head, tail and tail fibers were routinely imaged with somewhat distorted dimensions. The ease of imaging isolated phage particles with a good resolution raised our expectation for the further use of AFM in biomedical applications.
