[Spm] RE: Preparing Nanotubes for AFM-imaging

[Michal Wozniak]

Dear Mick
   It depends what kind of nanotubes do you have (how were prepared), but
try to put your CNTs to the ethanol or isopropanol. Mix the solution using
ultrasonic processor (or ultrasonic bath, for something like one hour).
Afterwards deposit the mixture on your substrate, the best using spincoater
and let it dry.

I hope it will help you
Good luck and everything the best in New Year 2009

Michal
