Impact and implications of AFM imaging studies

Just read Surfactant adsorbed layer structure at solid/solution interfaces: impact and implications of AFM imaging studies (Surfactant Adsorbed Layer Structure; Warr, G.G., Current Opin. in Coll. & Interface Sci., 2000, 5, 88-94) and I feel that it is one of the most helpful in understanding AFM studies that I've read so far.  I believe this is because it was published when AFM was a newer technology and was just beginning to be used for adsorption studies, so less information is skipped over because it has become more common knowledge.  I found the topic of transforming cylindrical and spherical structures into mono- or bilayer sheets using ion exchange very helpful.  Structures that originally begin as cylinders or spheres transition into flat sheets over time (18 hrs in the article) and "has been attributed to slow exchange of CTA+ for the potassium ions in the mica lattice." (Warr, 90) Then by increasing the ion concentration (they used caesium as an example but mention potassium, lithium and hydrogen as well) they are able to transfer back into cylinders and spheres.  Useful information for research to be done using adsorption.
