hIAPP aggregation spreads into the bulk solution. 4 µM hIAPP was incubated with 9.5±0.4x105 0.2 µm fluoresbrite carboxylate YG beads in H2O, in a well of a 96-well plate. The well was imaged, z stacks encompassing the AWI and an area spanning 1417x1417 µm2 were collected for 21 at least 18 h. 3D projections were performed in Imaris and visualised with the AWI flat viewed from the side with the bulk solution above.
