In brief,
3.8-cm2 test pieces were prepared and placed in intimate
contact with tryptic soy agar.
Test samples 3.8 cm2 were
placed in intimate contact with nutrient salts agar.
It can also be seen in Figure 3B that the rea-
sonable contact clarity is achievable, but the haze is very
apparent (ca. 30%) when the sample is not directly in con-
tact with the desired substrate.
