 AB    Scanning tunnelling microscopy was used to image biological molecules
       including supercoiled deoxyribonacetic acid and specific retrovirus
       enzymes, the reverse transcriptases of the avian myeloblastosis virus,
       the moloney murine leukaemia virus and the human immunodeficiency virus.
       Measurements were carried out on graphite and Group VI transition metal
       dichalcogenide layered crystals. Images obtained with graphite could not
       be unequivocally interpreted and attachment appears to occur solely at
       surface defect sites. The layered crystal MoTe2 shows different imaging
       properties. The bimolecules are clearly visible, distributed over the
       semiconductor surface, and the molecular shapes and dimensions show good
       correlation with structure predictions.
