Hi,

Would anybody know where I could find spider silk that could be imaged by AFM? I found this company on the internet:

http://www.amsilk.com/en/home.html

But didn’t receive any feedback from them so far.

Ideally, the silk fibrils should adhere to the glass support and be not too thick (maximum 5um in height).

Thanks for your thoughts,

Alex.
