A Side view schematic representation of nano-structured surface mounted in petri dish. Glass slides are mounted using paraffin such that structures are pointing upwards. B Tilted schematic representation of nano-pillar array on flat surface, and two important parameters for the nano-pillar arrays (height and pitch). These figures are not drawn to scale. C, D Overview of the nanopillar arrays employed in this work. Top-down and tilted side-view scanning electron micrographs of fabricated nano-pillar array with pillars of height 1000 nm and pitch 1000 nm. Scalebars 2000 nm
