Advances in Crystal Growth Research About cover pictures ;::*• » : : r # In-situ atomic force microscopy images showing incorporation of impurities by growing protein (ferritin) crystals. The dimers adsorb on the surface of growing crystals at concentrations largely exceeding those in the solution bulk (a), the adsorbed dimers appear as large clusters. Ahnost all adsorbed dimers are incorporated by the advancing steps ( a, b and c). Monitoring the interaction of a step with a dimer molecule allows deconvolution of the dimer shape from imaging artifacts and we see in b and c that the dimers consist of two bound monomers.
