Abstract
SUMMARY: A method is described for estimating the number of blocked pore channels and pore density and spatial distribution by the staining of the exterior pore openings of unobstructed pores with uranyl acetate, and identification of them using backscattered electron atomic number contrast imaging in the scanning electron microscope.Keywords
