Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) remains an indispensable tool for visualising material surfaces at the nanometre scale. The technique relies on a focused electron beam to generate high-resolution ...

Environmental Scanning Electron Microscopy (ESEM) represents a significant evolution of conventional scanning electron microscopy. By utilising variable pressure conditions rather than the high vacuum ...

Using scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM), the researchers have been able to show how the electrode degrades during use, when performing a standardised stress ...

Unlike optical microscopy, SEM does not rely on light waves but instead uses a beam of electrons to interact with materials, enabling magnifications up to 300,000× and resolutions approaching 1 nm. 1 ...

Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) has long been the gold standard for detecting asbestos fibers in air samples drawn at construction sites. But researchers have found that a cheaper, less ...

A new technical paper titled “Scanning electron microscopy-based automatic defect inspection for semiconductor manufacturing: a systematic review” was published by researchers at KU Leuven and imec.

In this study, COXEM Co., Ltd. analyzed cosmetic samples using Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) to investigate their surface morphology and compositional characteristics. The high-resolution imaging ...

The Thermo Fisher Apreo 2 Variable Pressure Field Emission Scanning Electron Microscope (FE-SEM) is a thermionic field emission high-resolution scanning electron microscope. The Apreo 2 FE-SEM is an ...

Scanning electron microscopy (SEM), along with key analytical techniques, such as energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS) and electron backscatter diffraction (EBSD), are essential for advanced materials ...

They can image a wide range of materials and biological samples with high magnification, resolution, and depth of field, thereby revealing surface structure and chemical composition. Industries like ...

For decades, a laboratory procedure known as transmission electron microscopy (TEM) has been used to test for asbestos in samples taken at construction sites. In 1989, the U.S. Environmental ...
