1. A method of detecting a target pathogen, comprising the steps of:

  • providing a substrate with a surface;

    depositing a patterned gold layer on the surface;

    depositing a deposition material on the surface, the deposition material capable of interacting with the target pathogen; and

    exposing the deposition material to a target sample which can contain the target pathogen and detecting resultant molecular interaction events between the deposition material and the target pathogen by imaging the surface with an atomic force microscope.
