Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM)
Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) allows high resolution imaging of surfaces. Typical applications include:
- Plant and animal tissue
- Materials
- Dental research
- Bacteria
- Freeze-fracture
- Biofilms
- MEMS
- Quality control
EM Research Services house a Cambridge Stereoscan 240 scanning electron microscope with digital image collection.
SEM is offered as a service with staff providing full support in specimen preparation and image collection.
SEM images from our facility have been used in an excellent book called Understanding Bee Anatomy: a full colour guide by Ian Stell. It is featured in Ian's website:
