I used to have access to some pretty nice Scanning Electron Microscopes (a SEM) at my day job. While they are a bit more complex than a 3D printer, they are awfully handy when you need them.

SEM stands for scanning electron microscope. The SEM is a microscope that uses electrons instead of light to form an image. Since their development in the early 1950's, scanning electron microscopes ...

Much like the traditional scanning electron microscope (SEM), the field emission scanning electron microscope uses electrons to illuminate a sample, instead of visible light as is used in optical ...

In electronics work, the scanning electron microscope (SEM) is the most common. You hit something with electrons and watch for secondary electron emissions. However, biologists more often use a ...

The groundwork for the development of SEM was laid by physicists Louis de Broglie, Max Knoll and Ernst Ruska. In the 1920s, de Broglie proposed the wave-particle duality of matter, which became a ...

We invented the world’s first FE-SEM in 1969. This was officially commercialized ... can now use SEMs at the level of ease of a light microscope, because so many processes have been simplified.” ...

A Scanning Electron Microscope uses a targeted beam of high-energy electrons on a test sample to produce an image or detect specific details. Electron-sample interactions can reveal a lot about a ...

Using a STEM-in-SEM conversion holder, we can convert a scanning electron microscope into a scanning transmission microscope. Neat! Judge blocks Trump's use of 1798 law to speed up deportations ...

Today we are machining some metal inside the scanning electron microscope! By creating a custom fixture, we can manually advance a carbide cutter and cut metal inside the vacuum chamber of my SEM.
