Caption
(A) AFM topography image, showing an individual β-chitin NCs on mica, acquired in water. (B–F) High-resolution AFM images recorded along the fiber axis (across the shaded region in (A)), each covering an area of 20–30 nm × 20–30 nm, revealing the structural variations across the crystal surface. Ellipses highlight regions with fluctuating disordered domains on the surface, indicating the boundary between vertically stacked chitin sheets.
