Summary Images of the conjugated polymers poly( p ‐phenylene vinylene) and poly(3‐hexylthienylene) deposited on gold, silver and graphite have been obtained using a Nanoscope II STM in air at room temperature. Areas of semi‐crystalline structure have been observed, with local alignment of chains on the surface.
