We use transmission-electron micrographs to study the structure formed by the irreversible kinetic aggregation of uniformly sized aqueous gold colloids. The structures are highly ramified and exhibit a scale invariance that is well described as a fractal with a Hausdorff dimension of {~} 1.75. This value is in excellent agreement with recent computer simulations of diffusion-limited aggregation when the clusters themselves are allowed to aggregate.
