Multiply twinned silver particles of rod-like shape and nanometer dimensions prepared by inert-gas aggregation technique have been studied by high-resolution electron microscopy. These pentagonal nanorods exhibit aspect ratio between 1.8 and 6 with the length of their fivefold axis ranging from 22 to 132 nm. Digital image processing and evaluation was utilised to characterise composition and lattice structure of the nanorods. Measuring the spacings of lattice plane fringes of nanorod subunits in various orientations revealed no deviation from the face centred cubic lattice type. There was also no indication of extended lattice defects found. Instead, a certain extent of non-regular lattice distortions recognised in the surface regions of the nanorods apparently is an effective means to achieve sufficient space filling. r
