A piranha treatment is performed to silanized the surface of the Immersion Surf. Then, a lectin-PEG chain is grafted on the trimethoxysilane surface. The Sarfus image shows a lipid vesicle adsorbed on this pretreated Immersion Surf.  Nanometric structures being responsible of the adhesion of the vesicle on the protein surface are studied.
