Replicas of previously prepared alkali halides were found to be extraction replicas with metal-containing colloidal particles. These particles were examined in the scanning and the transmission electron microscopes. It is shown that qualitative and quantitative elemental analysis of such colloidal particles may be performed in both instruments. Comparisons are made and limitations are discussed.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
