Abstract
A transmission electron microscope (TEM) micro-grid includes a metallic grid and a carbon nanotube film structure covered thereon. A method for making a TEM micro-grid includes the steps of: (a) providing an array of carbon nanotubes, quite suitably, providing a super-aligned array of carbon nanotubes; (b) drawing a carbon nanotube film from the array of carbon nanotubes; (c) covering the carbon nanotube film on a metallic grid, and treating the carbon nanotube film and the metallic grid with an organic solvent.
