Spore-Terminated Cantilevers for Chemical Patterning on Complex Architectures

Kramer MA, Gieseck RL, Andrews B, Ivanisevic A

Atomic force microscope tips terminated with spore cells are used to directly pattern onto glass and tissue surfaces. The spore cells act as sponges and eliminate the need to use microfabricated ink reservoirs during lithography.
