Figure 5

taken from particle as shown in (b) does not show crystallinity due to short-range order of the clay mineral.

TEM images of a 50 µg BAC-C12 mL−1 saturated smectite. Orange arrows (a) indicate visible lattice fringes at 81,000 × magnification and crystallographic z-axis. (b) Overview of the larger particle or aggregate of particles with typically folded edges. (c) Detail demonstrating how three individual layers were identified (orange dashed line); space between lines = 1.99 ± 0.15 nm. (d) Diffractogram
