Abstract

Colloidal crystals were grown on flat or patterned glass slides. The structure of the grains and their defects was first visualized by 3D confocal microscopy and then characterized using simple geometric measurements. Crystals grown on a flat surface maintained a layered structure induced by the closed-packed planes. In the case of the [110] •5 grain boundary, the presence of particles in interlayer position was established.
