unusual facts about scanning electron microscopy



Cornell NanoScale Science and Technology Facility

It also contains characterization equipment including scanning electron microscopes, ellipsometers and probe stations for electrical measurement.

Polymer characterization

Transmission Electron Microscopy in combination with staining techniques, but also Scanning Electron Microscopy, Scanning probe microscopy are important tools to optimize the morphology of materials like polybutadiene-polystyrene polymers and many polymer blends.
