Scanning electron microscope

Microscope which provides images using the interaction between an electron beam and the matter of the sample to be studied. More specifically it consists of an electron beam which sweeps the surface of the sample to be analysed. In response to this scanning, the sample emits certain particles which, once analysed by various detectors, allow a three-dimensional image to be reconstructed.
