Abstract
X-ray microscopy supplies the actual morphology of hematite aggregates in an aqueous dispersion medium. The fractal dimension of hematite ag gregates has been determined below and above the critical coagulation concentration. The box-counting method has been used as a morphometric tool. The values obtained are not in accordance with the values produ ced by numerical approaches.
