We used these optimized LC-(S)TEM imaging conditions to systematically characterize the wet etching of silica and metal(oxide)-silica core-shell nanoparticles with cores of gold and iron oxide, which are representative of many other core-silica-shell systems. The LC-(S)TEM method reliably reproduced the etching patterns of Stöber, water-in-oil reverse microemulsion (WORM), and amino acid-catalyzed silica particles that were reported before in the literature. Furthermore, we directly visualized the formation of yolk-shell structures f
