a–c, All images (three shown) are converted (a) through a single pixel-to-tile map θ to vectors of tile concentrations (b), which are shown mapped onto tile locations in each shape, with nucleation rate predictions (c). d, Normalized fluorescence over time in hours (one label per shape; other label configurations shown in Extended Data Fig. 9) during a 150 hour temperature ramp from 48 to 45 °C, and final AFM images. Scale bars, 100 nm. e, Summary of results for both fluorescence and AFM for all 36 images, and a uniform 60 nM tile concentration control sample. Above, colours of vertical lines indicate the target shape for each pattern, whereas triangular markings of each colour indicate the relative fraction of growth time (on right) or fraction of shapes counted in AFM images (on left) for the corresponding shape (solid markings indicate target shape). Dashed lines indicate samples with no significant quenching or observed shapes. Below, ternary plots summarize the same results, with proximity to triangle corners indicating relative fractions of growth time (right) or counted shapes (left) and circle size indicating overall growth time (right) or total number of shapes (left).
