SiO2 films are deposited on microscopic glasses by dip- or spin coating using sol-gel produced starting solution. The morphology of the films is characterized by means of atomic force microscopy (AFM). The IR spectroscopy proved the presence of Si-OH groups on the surface of the films. The films as substrates for red blood cells in the present of fluoro-4 are studied by fluorescent microscopy. The shape change of the red blood cells can be connected with the IEP of the SiO2 and the influence of the hydrophilic surface of the thin glass film.
