Abstract

We present several experimental results of imaging DNA on graphite. Images have been taken simultaneously in constant-current and gap-modulated mode. This way of imaging has been very helpful in order to discriminate between structures due to biological molecules and substrate artifacts. A possible way of using the tip to confirm this conclusion is shown.
