For porous surfaces, some <strong>in</strong>vestigators have found the MMD method results<br />

(i.e., gold particles that get occluded <strong>in</strong> the paper fibers) is not properly<br />

removed. This is why the wash<strong>in</strong>g procedure after the gold treatment is very<br />

important.
