SEM images of (a) 150 mesh Cu/Rh grid with the copper side facing up, a layer of rhodium underneath; (b) 300 mesh Cu/Rh grid after 3 minutes incubation in nanowire solution (see text); (c) lacey gold film adhered to the rhodium side of the nanowire grid. (d) TEM image of a sample vitrified on a carbon substrate nanowire grid; the nanowire can be seen protruding into the edge of the grid squares.
