Due to the nature of light, a traditional optical microscope can be employed to attain a maximum magnification of around 800–1000x. For further magnification, scanning electron microscopes (SEMs) can ...

A scanning electron microscope, acquired in 2016 with a grant from the National Science Foundation, provides a powerful tool for students, faculty, and visiting researchers to study the structure and ...

The JEOL JSM IT500 scanning electron microscope (SEM) is used for high-resolution imaging and qualitative X-ray microanalysis of conductive and non-conductive samples at a magnification range between ...

A persistent problem in scanning electron microscopy is the deposition of hydrocarbon contamination induced by an electron beam. Generally, the deposition of contamination on a specimen is a negative ...

Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) has been an important tool for forensic science since the 1970s, and it continues to find forensic applications today. The technique – capable of 100,000x ...

A unique laboratory at Michigan Tech captured microscopic photography of snowflakes in a demonstration of the lab's high-powered scanning electron microscope. The Applied Chemical and Morphological ...
