Transmission electron microscopy is used for material imaging and elemental composition analysis. The Transmission Electron Microscope (TEM) is a versatile analytical microscope for material characterization. In a TEM, a very high-energy electron beam is placed on a sample that is thin enough to be partially electron transparent, and the electron “shadow” of the sample is viewed and digitally recorded.
High resolution imaging shows morphology, aggregate form and internal structure of particles and materials. In addition, the images of the particles can be used to measure the particle size distribution of the material.
With an energy dispersive x-ray spectrometer (EDS) coupled to a TEM, we can easily obtain elemental composition. In addition, our TEMs are also equipped with electron diffraction capability. With EDS and electron diffraction abilities, we can confidently identify an unknown material.
Using energy dispersive x-ray spectrometry, brightfield and darkfield imaging, and electron diffraction, our Transmission Electron Microscopy is used for material imaging and elemental composition analysis. analysis services are used to characterize and identify a wide range of materials.
