Figure 1: a) Charging effect on a non-conductive sample and b) BSD imaging of this sample after 10 nm gold coating. For some applications sputter coating can be used to improve the resolution and ...

A small raster on the specimen leads to a large magnification for the same output size. Image Credit: JEOL USA, Inc. Figure 2. SEM images of hematite with the same enlargement of the sample despite ...

All SEM sample surfaces are typically coated with a thin hydrocarbon contamination due to sample preparation or storage. This contamination can affect and inhibit good resolution of the sample ...

The FIB-SEM offers 30% better SEM resolution at low voltage. The ZEISS Crossbeam delivers excellent SEM performance during 3D tomography or 2D surface sensitive images. The Gemini optics has a ...
