Why do your materials break? Tensile testing: inspecting the breaking mechanisms of materials with SEM

Tensile testing helps to predict when a material will break, but does not provide information on why or how this happens.

Unless the test is performed in/under a microscope.

Learn which microscope is most suitable for tensile testing and will help you to improve the performance of your materials: https://hubs.ly/H0dXtZh0

blog.phenom-world.com Tensile testing is a commonly-used analysis that provides information on the resilience of an object. This allows researchers to create models and design better materials. But how can you see what is happening? A scanning electron microscope (SEM) can help you solve this problem:

STOP outsourcing your scanning electron microscopy research — get your own SEM!

Outsourcing scanning electron microscopy jobs is ideal if you have samples evaluated a couple of times a year.

However, if the number of samples or evaluation periods increases, a few practical issues typically arise: https://hubs.ly/H0dG_pr0

STOP outsourcing your scanning electron microscopy research — get your own SEM!

When outsourcing your SEM jobs, there are a few challenges you face.

Sending out your samples is a time-consuming task and there’s a big chance you don’t get the right results, since you’re not present during the analysis to make the final check.

It’s time you get a personal SEM. Here’s how to choose the most suitable SEM for your research: https://hubs.ly/H0dWr3q0

Backscattered electron images: how to improve their quality

Backscattered electrons (BSEs) carry information on the material of the sample.

Obtaining high-quality images with a backscattered electron detector depends on many factors, such as the conductivity of the sample, its morphology and composition, the type of BSE detector and the electronics.

Given a fixed system with the same detector and electronics — a SEM — and the same sample, we analyzed the factors that play a role in the quality of a image.

And we outline how to improve that end quality. Read on for an in-depth read: https://hubs.ly/H0dSXjM0

blog.phenom-world.com Obtaining high-quality images with a backscattered electron detector depends on many factors. Understanding these factors enables you to improve the quality of your images drastically. Acquire the knowledge to do so by reading this extensive yet comprehensible piece.

Tungsten vs. CeB6 electron source: Choosing the right desktop SEM

Considering a desktop scanning electron microscope (SEM)? If so, then it is important to determine what type of electron source fits your needs, since it has a direct effect on the quality of your output. In this blog, we'll therefore describe compare a Tungsten electron source with a CeB6 electron source. Read on to learn to discover which electron source is most suitable for a desktop SEM.

blog.phenom-world.com An electron source is one of the most important modules in a desktop SEM. Picking the one that fits your needs (Tungsten or CeB6, for instance) will save you time and improve lab productivity.

Sputter coating for SEM: how this sample preparation technique assists your imaging

In some cases, using sputter coating for SEM imaging is recommended, or even necessary, to get good SEM images.

In this blog, we’ll explain how the sputter coating process works, and to which types of samples it should be applied. https://hubs.ly/H0dkJ_H0

blog.phenom-world.com Certain types of samples require an extra step in sample preparation. Learn how sputter coating for SEM works and to which type of samples it should be applied.

We're on tour in Germany with a live demo of the for large samples and automated analysis. Next week: Hamburg, Berlin, Dresden, Nürnberg, München. Sign up via https://hubs.ly/H0dNMGx0 or our German distributor https://hubs.ly/H0dNMGy0 # electronmicroscopy Take a preview here: https://hubs.ly/H0dNMGz0

Sydney has come to a close. But while everyone else is packing up, our guys are still demoing!

It’s thanks to the unprecedented interest in our NEW scanning , the XL and the .

A special thank you to our local distributor Scientific’s Bryn, Will, Theano and David. And also to our Polish distributor Arek from *K Instruments. -World. Now .

We want people to achieve more in nanotechnology to make the world safer, healthier and cleaner. It starts by making SEMs accessible for all, especially our microscopists.

Together with our Belgian distributor Jan de Munck we support the Technopolis science museum in Mechelen. And they are aweSEM at getting visitors interested in science with our Phenom desktop scanning electron microscope.

A great reason to visit the museum in Mechelen, or you can experience that microscope for yourself at NEMO Science Museum in Amsterdam too.

Buying a scanning electron microscope: how to select the right SEM

The choice between a desktop SEM and a larger, floor model system is almost always primarily and economic one: desktops are much less expensive.

But there are other factors that also argue in favor of a desktop solution, even when cost is not the primary consideration.

Electron lenses and aberrations: what affects the resolution in electron microscopes?

Resolution is one of the most important parameters in a scanning electron microscope (SEM). The lower the resolution, the smaller the features that can be seen. The resolution, which is typically not defined (and therefore measured) in a unique way, depends on the size of the beam when focused on the sample.

The size of the electron probe worsens when dealing with a non-ideal electron optical system, due to aberrations. What are the aberrations in electron optical systems? And how do they influence the electron probe?
In this blog, we will answer these questions and give an insight into aberrations: https://hubs.ly/H0dCvdB0

Sample degradation during SEM analysis: what causes it and how to slow down the process

In SEM, the electron beam can, over time, permanently degrade your sample.

This unwanted effect can alter — or even destroy — the details you want to see and change your results and conclusions.
