SEM Technology Overview – Scanning Electron Microscopy
The information below is provided only as a general overview of Scanning Electron Microscopes and the imaging and analysis they can provide. The interested reader is encouraged to explore some of the much more thorough reviews found in books and around the web. Here are a few that we recommend:
- MyScope Training by AMMRF (Australian Microscopy & MicroAnalysis Research Facility
- MyScope Outreach – a step-by-step narrated explanation and simulator
- Practical Electron Microscopy
