1. D. Neff, expts done 7-6-2011 This report shows 2rh window origami (two rhodamine labeled staples/origami). Massud annealed and stored this origami at 4 deg. C for ~ 1 week before dialysis and deposition shown here.

2. this annealing run was dialyzed before imaging through a 25nm pore membrane against 1x TAE buffer (30 mins) I am unsure of the staple:plasmid:rhodamine ratios used in origami synthesis all images taken with the ixon3 (photon count capable) CCD and TM AFM AFM and fluor. images are of the very same coverslip, AFM was NOT on fluor microscope stage for spot analysis 9 pixels per spot (a 3x3 pixel area around the spot center) were averaged each frame background plots look smoother because many more pixels were averaged than for spot (point source) analysis

3. Preparing 2-rhodamine labeled DNA origami sample for fluorescence microscope (Neff proceedure 7-6-2011) Clean glass coverslip Make light scratch on one side of glass coverslip with diamond scribe Sonicate in ethanol for 15 minutes Rinse with UV-treated ddH 2 O and dry with N 2 Irradiate with UV light for 10 minutes Place 1 µL of 2-rhodamine labeled origami and 9µL UV-treated ddH 2 O on coverslip (may have to adjust amount of origami depending on concentration but make sure you have a total of 10µL of liquid) Let stand at room temperature for 10 minutes Rinse coverslip one time with UV-treated ddH 2 O and dry with N 2 Image using fluorescence microscope.
