Andrew Hook – <strong>Patterned</strong> <strong>and</strong> <strong>switchable</strong> <strong>surfaces</strong> <strong>for</strong> <strong>biomaterial</strong> <strong>applications</strong>Figure 5.4. Surface plot of reflectivity taken from an array of PLL spotted onto baregold over a concentration series of 2.0, 1.0, 0.5, 0.25, 0.1, 0.05 <strong>and</strong> 0.01mg/ml. Each concentration was repeated in triplicate. The angle of incidencewas set such that the bare gold background was in resonance. The intensityof the reflected light is enhanced at the PLL spots from the higherconcentrations due to the displacement of the resonance angle to higherangles as a result of the local increase in the refractive index. Each spot isapproximately 400 m in diameter, with a centre-to-centre distance of 500m.5-173
