Scanning electron microscope - Wikipedia
WEBA scanning electron microscope (SEM) is a type of electron microscope that produces images of a sample by scanning the surface with a focused beam of electrons. The electrons interact with atoms in the sample, producing various signals that contain information about the surface topography and composition of the sample.

WEBAug 29, 2023 · A microscope is an instrument that enables us to view small objects that are otherwise invisible to our naked eye. One way that microscopes allow us to see smaller objects is through the process of magnification, i.e. enlarging the image of the object. When a microscope enlarges an image of a 1 mm object to 10 mm, this is a 10 x …

WEBAug 22, 2022 · Different SEM images can be produced based on the type of detector being used and these image can be used to see what the sample looks like on the nanoscale. The most typical detector used detects the secondary electrons that are emitted from the sample by inelastic scattering.
Scanning transmission electron microscopy - Wikipedia
WEBA scanning transmission electron microscope (STEM) is a type of transmission electron microscope (TEM). Pronunciation is [stɛm] or [ɛsti:i:ɛm]. As with a conventional transmission electron microscope (CTEM), images are formed by electrons passing through a sufficiently thin specimen.

WEBAug 29, 2023 · Microscopy is the field of using microscopes to view objects and areas of objects that cannot be seen with the naked eye (objects that are not within the resolution range of the normal eye). There are three primary branches of microscopy: optical, electron, and scanning probe microscopy, along with the emerging field of X-ray microscopy.
