Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) Laboratory

You are here:

Scanning electron microscope is a large analytical instrument, which is widely used in material science, life science, physics, chemistry and other fields. The scanning electron microscope is equipped with some special accessories, such as energy spectrometer, electron diffractometer, etc., so that the scanning electron microscope becomes a multi-functional, fast, intuitive and comprehensive surface analysis instrument. As a professional reliability third-party testing organization, T,C&A Lab's Scanning Electron Microscope Laboratory can analyze metals, ceramics, composite material and other materials according to ISO, ASTM and other standards. Welcome to contact our experts for consultation.

Main advantages of scanning electron microscope

High resolution

The resolution of advanced scanning electron microscope has reached about 1 nm.

Larger magnification

The resolution of the electron microscope is much higher than that of the optical microscope. The highest magnification of the optical microscope is only about 1500 times, while the scanning microscope can magnify more than 10000 times.

Three-dimensional imaging

The fine structure of the uneven surface of all kinds of samples can be observed directly.

Simple sample preparation

Large-scale samples can be observed, from millimeters to centimeters; bulk samples do not need to be cut into ultra-thin slices.

Configure X-ray energy spectrometer

Simultaneously observe the microstructure and analyze the composition of the microstructure.

SEM has a wide range of applications in materials and metallurgy, including

Fracture failure analysis

Cause analysis of product defects

Coating structure and thickness analysis

Coating layer and thickness analysis

Material surface wear and corrosion analysis

Refractory structure and corrosion analysis
