Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) is a microscopy technique used to produce high-resolution images of a sample’s surface by scanning it with a focused beam of electrons. This process provides detailed information about the sample’s topography, composition, and other properties. Key Characteristics / Core Concepts High resolution imaging: SEM provides significantly higher resolution than optical microscopy, … Read more
Microscopy is the technical field of using microscopes to view objects and areas of objects that are too small to be seen by the naked eye. It involves using a microscope to magnify the image of a sample, allowing for detailed examination of its structure and composition. Key Characteristics / Core Concepts Magnification: The ability … Read more
Electron microscopy is a technique for obtaining high-resolution images of biological and non-biological specimens by using a beam of electrons to illuminate the sample. It provides significantly higher resolution than light microscopy, allowing visualization of structures at the nanometer scale, revealing details invisible to the human eye. Key Characteristics / Core Concepts Uses a beam … Read more
