Figure 1

Transmission electron micrograph (TEM) of the SWCNT dispersion in Triton-X 100 using probe sonication. Dispersion efficiency was nearly identical in Eagle's medium, except that high salt and protein content made visualization of SWCNTs more challenging. The images in Triton-X are presented due to their visual clarity by TEM. Panel A-The dispersed CNTs appear as long straight needle-like nanofibers, varying in length from 0.5 to several microns and accompanied by spherical metal catalysts and organic impurities, better observed in the enlarged insert shown as panel B.
