Assuming the protein is in solution, drop cast 2ul of solution onto a glass surface and spread evenly with a sharp needle. Air dry in dust free chamber and blow the surface with gentle stream of nitrogen gas. Proteins stick to surface quite well to be analyzed for various microscopy (AFM, SEM etc.). If the purpose is not to do any surface probe microscopy, coating the glass surface with Sigmacoat helps in better binding. Poly-lysine coated glass cover slips can be alternative but mostly not preferred for small proteins or peptides.
Hope that helps. Best!!
