Link to your SEM & TEM data!
NOTE: The original scans of the TEM films are in PICT format image files, which are 2+MB each. I have converted them to the smaller file size JPG images, which should be adequate for puposes of particle size histograms. Thus you do not need to download the PICT files unless you feel a need to do so. In a few cases QuickTime Picture Viewer could not export JPGs, so TIFFs were exported instead.
Image/J is an image processing program which may be useful to measure and manipulate you TEM/SEM images. It will run on Linux, Mac OS 9, Mac OS X, Windows, and the Sharp Zaurus PDA. (download Image/J here)
