Scanning electron microscope & energy dispersive x-ray spectrometer

Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) is a well-known non-destructive technique that uses an electron beam probe to analyse samples surface down to nano-scale. The scanning electron microscopes produce high magnification images with high resolution, a feature of which makes them suitable tools for a wide range of applications in numerous fields of science and industry

The scanning electron microscope allows to image specimens at high magnifications using a number of different contrast mechanisms .Magnification ranging from 20X to approximately 30,000X, spatial resolution of (50 to100 nm). The SEM analysis is critical in all fields that require characterization of solid materials, geological applications

Analytical SEM with EDS help to achieves fast analysis of material characterization and elemental analysis. SEM-EDS uses to analyses various type of samples and reveal critical information’s containing external Morphology, Chemical compositions, Crystalline structure, Multi-layer coatings/paints and orientation

The energy dispersive x-ray spectrometer (EDS) allows the collection of qualitative and quantitative information about the elemental composition of spots and regions of interest
