How does scanning electron microscope analysis work?
In scanning electron microscope analyses, W.S. Werkstoff Service examines samples using a finely focused electron beam. The surface is scanned line by line, producing high-resolution images. This enables detailed assessment of fracture surfaces, particles, coatings, microstructural constituents and interfaces. Combined with EDX, local elemental compositions can be determined. Characteristic X-ray signals generated by the electron beam are evaluated for this purpose. The results support damage analyses, material assessments and quality control and are documented in a traceable manner.
