Determination of the volume-specific surface area by using transmission electron tomography for characterization and definition of nanomaterials

<p>Abstract</p> <p>Background</p> <p>Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) remains an important technique to investigate the size, shape and surface characteristics of particles at the nanometer scale. Resulting micrographs are two dimensional projections of objects an...
