Fig. 3From: Identification of Characteristic Macromolecules of Escherichia coli Genotypes by Atomic Force Microscope Nanoscale Mechanical MappingMorphological characteristics of the E. coli genotypes. The upper row displayed the deflection error images of a MG1655, b CFT073, and c RS218. The middle row showed the 3D topographies colored with adhesion mapping on d MG1655, e CFT073, and f RS218 cells. The lower row was the detailed adhesion mapping on g MG1655, h CFT073, and i RS218. In adhesion mapping, the darker color referred to less adhesion performances and vice versa. The scale bars were 2 μm for a–c, 200 nm for d–f, and 100 nm for g–iBack to article page
