Abstract
The cryoscan is an apparatus equipping the JEOL scanning electron microscopes, and allowing the observation of freeze-fracture planes of samples whose temperature is maintained below −100 °C. The application of this method to a sensitive clay from Quebec shows an aggregated structure, the aggregates being separated by 1 μm size voids.Keywords
