Tabletop SEM

What can a tabletop SEM do compared to an optical microscope ?
The tabletop SEM uses a focused electron beam that allows much higher resolution and magnification compared to an optical microscope. In addition the depth of focus is much larger and you can perform chemical analysis with um spatial resolution at the same time as you image the sample.
What is the main difference between a tabletop SEM and a larger SEM ?
A tabletop scanning electron microscope (SEM) offers the benefit of being compact and affordable in comparison to a large full-sized SEM. It requires less power and has lower maintenance costs. While it may not offer the same level of magnification or resolution as a full-sized SEM, a tabletop SEM is a practical alternative for researchers who need to quickly and easily obtain high-quality images of samples. In addition it can be equipped with powerful tools for x-ray microanalysis (EDS) to perform advanced elemental analysis on a micrometer level.
Can you perform X-ray microanalysis (EDS) in a tabletop SEM ?
Absolutely ! We provide dedicated EDS detectors optimized for the small SEMs and the same range of software functions that are available on larger SEMs.
