Abstract

Lipid nanotube (LNT) [1] encapsulating method is an advanced sample fixation technique by encapsulating nanomaterials in homogeneous hollow cylinders of LNTs (shown in “Figure 1”). In characterizing nanomaterials with transmission electron microscopy (TEM), this method provides some advantages over usual method, in which samples are fixed on a supporting thin film.
