FIGURE 26 Oxidized RFL basal plane (10k x magnification)
NNG particles, with widths of a few micron as seen in Figure 27.

The situation is remarkably different in the case of the synthetic graphite particles.
It still remains possible to clearly discern between needle particles and pitch particles
as is evident in Figure 28.
