This image shows Calcite crystal growing in Solution. Calcite crystal grows in a supersaturated solution and AFM tip is monitoring its growth. The image shows the spiral growth at the surface of this crystal and each step is around 3 A (subnanometer).













We can also see the atoms at this surface!

Look at the next image.
