Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) has become a vital tool in materials science, allowing researchers and engineers to explore the intricate structure and surface features of various materials, ...

Also, in the past, SEMs had significantly lower imaging resolution at lower kVs, so the user shied away from it. Today’s SEMs, even entry-level, can image and perform microanalysis at low kV without ...

Researchers report a non-destructive and high throughput 3D imaging of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) embedded in polymer matrix via Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM). While have been several open questions ...

The resolution capability of the scanning electron microscope has increased immensely in recent years, and is now within the sub-nanometre range, at least for inorganic materials. An equivalent ...

Scanning electron microscope images showing polymers in a spherical configuration (far left); when a new solvent is added, the spheres twist and change into elongated twisted spindles (far right).

Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) and Energy-filtered transmission electron microscopy (EFTEM) are both commonplace methods for the characterization of polymer thin films. When imaging nanostructured ...

SEM images of forcespun and electrospun nanofiber mats demonstrated that most fibers were in the sub-micron range. However, the electrospun samples displayed a more uniform and regular fiber ...

If this little face looks a little . . . well, deflated, that’s because it literally is. This is a scanning electron microscope image of a hollow polystyrene sphere. When Arkaprabha Giri, a ...

Imagine going through a surgery where the doctor proposes the use of a temporary implant that dissolves by itself with time ...
