Abstract
The applicability of x-ray microscopy for the direct investigation of clay aggregates in water is demonstrated. As coagulating agents Ca2+, an anionic and a cationic detergent were used. The internal structures of the aggregates formed by the addition of the surfactant could be clearly visualized.
