Abstract

In the present work we show the capabilities of the new protocol called cryo-fracture TEM recently developed in our laboratory. The systems selected to test the protocol were C12E8–water and P84–water, and the phases imaged were lamellar (Lα), hexagonal (H1) and cubic (I1). This protocol is a natural extension of the capabilities of conventional cryo-TEM, which enables direct imaging of viscous samples.
