Slide printing techniques preparation

It had been anticipated that there might be a difference in the fine structure of the replica in the area of the adsorbed acid clusters compared to that of the bare glass substrate. Enlarged prints of the best micrographs of this series showed no variation of texture between these areas. When replicas of cleaved mica, which is thought to be structureless, were prepared by the technique used here, they had a similar fine texture this suggests that the fine structure results from the shadowed replica itself and not from the actual surfaces of the monolayered slides.
