Contour length of DNA by AFM ?

10 October 2018 0 8K Report

I am trying to measure the contour length of plasmid DNA under different conditions. I use AFM to image the DNA molecules and they all seem to be in different topoisomeric states; hence the contour length could offer some qualitative insight. Anyone knows how I can do it? Which software would you recommend ?
