Scanning Electron Microscopy

Preferred Label : Scanning Electron Microscopy;

NCIt synonyms : Microscopy, Electron, Scanning;

NCIt definition : Technique of electron microscopy in which the specimen is coated with heavy metal and then scanned by an electron beam. The resolution is not as great as with transmission electron microscopy, but preparation is easier (often by fixation followed by critical point drying), the depth of focus is relatively enormous, the surface of a specimen can be seen (though not the interior unless the specimen is cracked open) and the image is aesthetically pleasing.;

Alternative definition : CDISC: An electron microscopy imaging technique that is utilized to examine structural components of a sample by passing electrons through a specimen that has been coated with a heavy metal.;
