Abstract
A novel procedure of sample preparation for transmission electron microscopy of nanoparticles is proposed yielding a monolayer of nanoparticles. The procedure offers the possibility of sorting nanoparticles by size and studying the influence of external fields on their arrangement. This technology can also be applied for the creation of ordered arrays of nanoparticles in ultrathin polymer films.
