• Description: Two different carbon structures, carbon nanotubes (CNTs) and crystalline diamond films, were studied by a high resolution scanning electron microscope (SEM). Both forms of carbon were prepared by plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition (PECVD) in microwave discharges.SEM observation of nanotubes were made by the high performance field emission SEM using SEI mode electron images. No charging effects were observed.
