Atomic force microscopy has been used to image plant chromosomes from standard preparations without staining or coating. This has enabled the collection of high-resolution three-dimensional data on surface structure. The technique has been further applied to the imaging of C-banded chromosomes revealing structural changes resulting from the banding treatment. The bands were observed as localized areas of high relief.
