AFM images (tapping mode) of C₆₀ fullerene particles on the mica surface, which were precipitated from C₆₀FAS with an initial concentration of 0.15 mg/ml (a, b). Arrows indicate the height of the individual particles. Experimental SANS curve (points) for C₆₀FAS (0.15 mg/ml). Solid lines correspond to the model curve obtained by the IFT procedure. Insert: the pair distance distribution function as a result of the IFT procedure for scattering from C₆₀ fullerene nanoparticles present in the C₆₀FAS (c)
