title: Chemical contrasting in a single polymer molecule AFM experiment.
abstract: We developed a simple contrasting procedure to improve the AFM visualization of single positively charged polymer chains deposited on substrates of a relatively high roughness via the decoration of the molecules with hexacyanoferrate anions or negatively charged clusters of cyanide-bridged complexes.
