Abstract

The characterization of nanoparticles is of prime importance in catalysis. High Resolution Electron Microscopy coupled with image processing has produce a lot of new information on the detailed structure of the particles. In this paper we discuss the possibility of applying these techniques to the study of surface roughness.
