Abstract

Description

Radiation damage prevents the ability to obtain images from individual molecules. We suggest that this problem can be avoided for organic molecules by placing them in close proximity with a metallic surface. The molecules will then quickly dissipate any electronic excitation via their coupling to the metal surface. They may therefore be observed for a number of elastic scattering events that is sufficient to determine their structure.
