我们用原子力显微镜观察了溶菌酶在其母液中生长的晶体。晶体表面的图像显示了二维岛的成核、扩展和合并以形成晶体的连续层的时间过程。得到了台阶速度和二维成核速率。在相对低的过饱和度下生长的晶体上，大的宏观台阶的形成似乎是常见的。
We have used atomic force microscopy to observe growing crystals of the protein lysozyme in their mother liquor. The images of the crystal surface show the time course of nucleation, spreading, and merging of two-dimensional islands to form successive layers of the crystal. Step velocities and two-dimensional nucleation rates were obtained. The formation of large macrosteps appears to be common on crystals growing at relatively low supersaturation.
