High-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM) of multi-wall carbon nanotubes using a spherical aberration correction of the objective lens has shown a new possibility for the observation of nanometre-sized tubular materials. Improvement of the image resolution along a direction parallel to that of electron incidence enables one to obtain some information on the local height of the tubes, and in lateral directions better than 0.14 nm at 200 kV accelerating voltage, the possibility of direct determination of the chirality of the tubes and the observation of finer atomic structures of carbon atoms such as ‘hexagon’ ones is suggested. Spherical aberration corrected HRTEM begins a new stage of the structural study of nano-tubular materials.
