What is the highest magnification possible with a dark field microscope? It's not going to be anything like an electron microscope so is it useful at all for characterizing CS particles? > Since CS changes when dried and a TEM requires a dry sample, a > Tunneling Electron Microscope won't do the job properly even though > it's detection range is more than adequate. [Lots of cheap surplus TEMs > around and lots of people use them to size silver particles, but the > results are absolutely bogus.] Small quibble: the "T" in TEM refers to transmission, not tunnelling. I'm not sure what they call tunnelling electron microscopes... STEM comes to mind: Scanning Tunneling Electron Microscope, I think. They were just being developed when I bailed out of that world. <grin> Mike D.
