Nanoscale Characteristics of Ocular Lipid Thin Films Using Kelvin Probe Force Microscopy
Abstract
Purpose: To describe the use of Kelvin probe force microscopy (KPFM) to investigate the electrical surface potential of human meibum and to demonstrate successful use of this instrument on both human meibum and a meibum model system (six-lipid stock [6LS]) to elucidate nanoscale surface chemistry and self-assembly characteristics.
Materials and Methods: 6LS and meibum were analyzed in this study. Mica-supported thin films were created using the …
