Abstract
The stretched polymers with embedded biological samples are widely used as anisotropic matrix uniaxially orienting samples. The texture of a polymer f ilm surface influences the properties of polarized emission and phototherma l spectra. This textural properties for the unstretched and stretched polym er films with and without the embedded biological objects of various dimens ions (pigment molecules, photosynthetic bacterial cells, and cell fragments ) were established using AFM (Atomic Force Microscopy).
