The grating-coupled nanoporous-silica-supported reverse waveguide chip was also applied for monitoring the attachment and spreading of Human Dermal Fibroblast cells to the surface16. As in the bacteria experiments, the waveguide surface was coated with a thin layer of poly-L-lysine layer to improve cell attachment and spreading.

The design of the nanoporous waveguide is shown both schematically and as a photograph in Fig. 12. It consists of an 8 mm x 12 mm x 1.6 mm soda lime glass substrate, spin-coated with a l- im-thick layer of nanoporous silica (Nanopore, NM, USA) and then coated with a 160-nm-thick layer of polystyr-...
