Interconnecting pores

Interconnecting pore formation in emulsion templated matrices using poly(butadiene)-b-poly(ethylene oxide) as a macromolecular surfactant

Ice!

The dark spots are small, nanometer, sized spheres of ice crystals on the background of non crystalline water, formed by rapid freezing. The picture was taken using a technique called cryogenic electron microscopy

Spherical micelles

Transmission Electron Microscopy images of spherical micelles (A), Cylindrical micelles (B), intermediate structures "Jellyfish" (C), Vesicles and Micelles (D). Scale Bar = 200nm. Contrast was gained by positive staining with phosphotungstic acid
