As the microstructure of such mixtures strongly determines the properties of final products, powerful analytical tools are required for studying the distribution of the various compounds. A variety of techniques are available for such high resolution nano-scale imaging and component analysis, including fluorescence microscopy, electron microscopy coupled with energy dispersive X-ray analysis or electron microprobe and other related techniques. Quite often these techniques are somewhat destructive and abrasive, or require labor intensive and complex sample preparation. Most importantly though, these analytical methods are vacuum or high vacuum techniques, therefore imposing limitations on the investigation of e.g. wet, out-gassing samples, or they induce structural changes. Confocal Raman Imaging applied in ambient conditions can help overcome these drawbacks and allow for detailed structural and compositional investigation prior to the possible application of invasive techniques.","PeriodicalId":100658,"journal":{"name":"Imaging & Microscopy","volume":"34 1","pages":"35-38"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2009-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"76947957","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

TEM or STEM are used as the state-of-the-art methods. In this study monodispersed Pt3Co alloy nanoparticles supported on carbon black (CB) prepared by the nanocapsule method are investigated and the results are compared with a commercially available Pt3Co/C catalyst system. To avoid the obstacles of conventional bright-field TEM or STEM regarding the image analysis, an advanced computerized image processing procedure is introduced. The so-called local adaptive threshold (LAT) is a method for a precise determination of particle diameter and size distribution in the subnanometer scale. The results demonstrate the advantage of a completely computerized particle evaluation as compared to a conventional particle analysis.","PeriodicalId":100658,"journal":{"name":"Imaging & Microscopy","volume":"2 1","pages":"34-38"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2009-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"79564720","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
