How is Electron Beam Imaging Used in Nanotechnology?
Electron beam imaging, particularly in the form of scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM), is indispensable in nanotechnology. These techniques provide high-resolution images of nanostructures, allowing researchers to visualize and analyze the morphology, composition, and crystallographic information of materials at the nanoscale. This detailed imaging capability is vital for developing and characterizing nanomaterials and devices.
