Description
The Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) is a non-contact, non-destructive tool used for qualitative and quantitative analysis of material composition. During examination, a focused electron beam excites the sample surface, generating electrons and photons through electron-material interactions. These electrons and photons are detected. The processed data enables quantitative and qualitative chemical examinations at very high magnification (up to 50,000 magnification), and element maps can also be created. Additionally, SEM can produce high-resolution, high-depth-of-field images of diverse materials, including ceramics, metal objects, plants, bones, textiles, polymers, pigments, glasses, geological specimens, and industrial materials. From these images, complex granulometric analyses can also be performed.
