Fig. 2: iSCAT monitoring of living CDSA.
From: Real-time label-free imaging of living crystallization-driven self-assembly
A iSCAT images of PCL73-b-PDMA204 1D fiber growth (scale bar: 3 μm). B Length evolution of 1D fibers. C iSCAT images of PCL45:PCL45-b-PDMA348 platelet growth (scale bar: 3 μm). D Size evolution of platelet area from 40 representative platelets taken from 3 repeats of the experimental conditions depicted in C. E iSCAT images of early diffraction-limited growth of a single platelet (scale bar: 1 μm). F Contrast evolution of individual platelets during the early stage. Blue markers represent the contrast evolution of the background, other colors indicate different individual platelets (100 ms time-lapse, 400 μs exposure). G iSCAT images of platelet growth at high speed (0.33 ms per frame, scale bar: 1 μm). H Contrast evolution of the cross section (indicated by the red arrow in G) at the platelet edge monitored at high imaging speed (contrast profiles were plotted every 33.33 ms with 100 frame averaging).
