      abstract     = {Nanoparticles are frequently synthesised as colloids,
                      dispersed in solvents such as water, hexane or ethanol. For
                      their characterisation by transmission electron microscopy
                      (TEM), a drop of colloid is typically deposited on a carbon
                      support and the solvent allowed to evaporate. However, this
                      method of supporting the nanoparticles reduces the
                      visibility of fine atomic details, particularly for
                      carbonaceous species, due to interference from the
                      2-dimensional carbon support at most viewing angles. We
                      propose here the impregnation of a 3 dimensional carbon
                      black matrix that has been previously deposited on a carbon
                      film as an alternative means of supporting colloidal
                      nanoparticles, and show examples of the application of this
                      method to advanced TEM techniques in the analysis of
                      monometallic, core@shell and hybrid nanoparticles with
                      carbon-based shells.},
