Capability Update - Scanning Electron Microscopy


Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) is an analysis technique to get information about composition and topography of an object by scanning its surface to create a high-resolution image.

◾ SEM provides detailed, magnified images of surfaces, allowing researchers to observe structures and features that are invisible to the naked eye or traditional light microscopy.

◾ SEM generates three-dimensional images, providing a depth of field that allows for the study of complex structures.

◾ SEM can be combined with energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS) to identify the elemental composition of a sample, providing valuable information about its chemical makeup.

◾ SEM is used in quality control processes and research studies to analyse the microstructure, morphology, and composition of materials.


Here are more details about out our range of high-resolution Field Emission Scanning Electron Microscopes (FE-SEM) complimented with the latest technology, including:

◾ Wavelength Dispersive Spectroscopy (WDS) and

◾ Electron Diffraction Spectroscopy (EDS) detectors offering light element analysis

◾ Electron Back-scatter Diffraction (EBSD)

◾ Environmental Scanning Electron Microscopy (ESEM)
