Effect of forced solution flow (25 µm /s) equal to natural convection level on morphology and the step growth rate of tetragonal lysozyme crystals was investigated by temperature controlled AFM at 20°C. It was found that macro- step was enhanced when the solution flowed in the same direction of the step motion. The step growth rate reached a maximum and then decreased with experimental time although the protein concentration was kept constant.
