27. Au particles imaged by TEM appear to be significantly smaller than when imaged by HRSEM due to the difference in resolution limits of the two instruments. By TEM, the diameter is 6.7 ± 2.6 nm, whereas HRSEM shows that the nanocrystal diameter is 13.0 ± 4 nm. The nanowire diameters determined by TEM match more precisely the nanocrystal diameter determined by TEM, while the nanowire diameter determined by HRSEM matches the nanocrystal diameters measured by HRSEM.
