Hi I am using 47mm Alumina template for growing nanowires. I Would like to take some SEM pictures of this template (But failed to take some nice pictures). Please tell me how to cut this templates inorder that I can see the straight columns of these templates. One more question is alumina templates are considered to be having branched pores. Which side of these have these branchings? fabbi. PHANEENDRA MEDIDA Research Assistant Magnetic MEMS(Dr.Gary Friedman), Drexel University, Philadelphia PA 19104 215-895-0271
