WHY IS SEM IMAGING USED TO STUDY FACE MASKS? SEM imaging is an ideal tool to check the homogeneity, compactness and average diameter of fibres in the different face mask layers. The SEM image show a 10nm gold coated non-woven polypropylene filtration layer at 1400x magnification. Some SEM manufacturers have developed specific software applications for a fully automatic fibre diameter...

WHY IS SEM IMAGING USED TO STUDY NANOFIBRES? SEM imaging is an ideal tool to check the fibre surface properties and the structure of collagen networks. In general, a lot of organic and biological samples such as tissue, blood vessels and cartilage provide very interesting information when imaged by SEM. Such materials however are very poor electrical and thermal conductors...

WHY IS SEM IMAGING USED TO STUDY DIATOMS? Diatoms are used to help determine the origin of materials containing them. One important field of use is forensics. A typical application is to differentiate a death by submersion form a post-mortem immersion of a body in water. Because the composition of diatoms is specific for a specific location, a sample of...

By quantifying how a beam departs from a perfect Gaussian TEM00, the beam propagation ratio M2 is a meaningful parameter to assess the quality of a laser beam. The reference method for its measurement is described in the paragraph 9 of the ISO 11146-1 standard. Based on several intensity acquisitions at different positions along the propagation axis this procedure is...

A. When it’s an EmCrafts Cube II Most tabletop SEMs in the marketplace today are dumbed-downed versions of a manufacturers larger floor standing SEM, and in most cases this means that performance, quality and flexibility is compromised in an attempt to make them affordable and simpler to use. Although the same size as many common tabletop systems, the EmCrafts Cube SEM is...
