	abstract = {We have developed a method for stretching phage deoxyribonucleic acids {(DNAs)} on a conductive graphite surface and imaging them with nanometer-scale resolution employing atomic force microscopy {(AFM).} This method depends on careful control of the graphite surface charge, appropriate selection of the ionic strength of the {DNA} solution, and controlled translation of a droplet of {DNA} solution along the surface. The single-stranded (ss)-lambda phage {DNA} (up to 23130 bases) and the {PhiX174} {DNA} (5386 bases) molecules have been elongated by dragging the meniscus on the flat highly ordered pyrolytic graphite {(HOPG)} surface and manipulating the surface tension between the {DNA} solution and the substrate. The precise positioning and stretching of {DNA} molecules combined with ultrahigh-resolution methods such as scanning tunneling microscopy {(STM)} and {AFM} provide intriguing new opportunities for direct electronic sequencing of {DNA.}},
