The results of electron microscopic determination of the colloidal structure of some typical lubricating oil detergents by an improved freeze‐etching method for specimen making are reported. The work establishes that the improved freeze‐etching technique provides a reliable means for observation of colloidal structure of detergents, where the conventional method does not.
