Like Driving a Car: Acquiring Quality SEM/FESEM Images in Different Situations
18 Nov 2022 | | Contributor(s):: Bangzhi Liu, NACK Network
Getting good SEM/FESEM images is dependent on both the sample conditions (conductivity, bulk vs. thin film, etc) and the instrument’s imaging parameters (e.g., beam voltage, beam current, working distance, detector, etc). This webinar will simplify and explain the complex nature...

Charged-Particle Interaction Analysis
07 Jan 2022 | | Contributor(s):: Atilla Ozgur Cakmak, NACK Network
Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) has traditionally been the most frequently used micro-/nano- characterization technique to overcome the optical losses coming from lenses. In this talk we are going to begin by discussing the fundamental blocks of an SEM starting from the electron beam emission....
