The engraftment of orthopedic implants into bone tissue is mainly achieved by stem cells, which are differentiated into osteoblasts in the vicinity of the bone-implant-interface. It is known, that various surface topographies on the nanoscale are able to promote the differentiation process [2]. Thus, a physically induced differentiation by the topography of a titanium covered surface presents an interesting and promising alternative for future clinical use. It is known that anisotropically distributed 30 nm pores in a titanium coated polycarbonate membrane lead to cell differentiation [1]. The main approach is to generate a well-defined nanoporous surface in the pore-size-range of 30 nm by other approaches, like e-beam-lithography plus sputtering, to investigate further adjustments in the osteogenic cell differentiation. For a more precise analysis of the cell-pore-interaction in a TEM, a FIB-SEM-system is used to structure the needed pores into coated TEM grids.
