Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM)

 

 

Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) may include failure analysis, material analysis, and the elemental analysis (EDS) of extremely small particles. SEMs are electron microscopes in which the image is formed by synchronizing a detector with a focused electron beam that scans the object. The intensity of the image-forming beam is proportional to the back scattered or secondary emission of the specimen where the probe strikes. The magnification of scanning electron microscopy is controlled by the length or area scanned.
