Abstract
In extension of earlier work by v. Heimendahl et al. (1976, 1977) two more electron microscopic techniques were applied for manganese nodule investigations. Both of them were successful to study the bulk, undisturbed nodule material, being prepared for transmission electron microscopic specimens — in contrast to the earlier reported powder results. Applications concern details of the so-called A- and B-nodules as described by Halbach et al. (1975, 1978).
