scanning electron microscopy
Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) is an advanced imaging technique used in microscopy to obtain high-resolution, three-dimensional images of the surfaces of solid specimens. SEM achieves this by using a focused beam of electrons to scan the specimen's surface, resulting in detailed images with magnifications ranging from about 10x to 100,000x or higher. Key features and principles of scanning electron microscopy include: Electron beam: SEM uses an electron beam instead of visible light for...
