The advantages of using SEMs in nanotechnology include: - High Resolution: SEMs can achieve resolutions down to a few nanometers, allowing for detailed imaging of nanoscale features. - Depth of Field: SEMs provide a large depth of field, enabling three-dimensional observation of samples. - Versatility: SEMs can be used to image a wide range of materials, including metals, polymers, and biological samples. - Elemental Analysis: With the addition of Energy Dispersive X-ray Spectroscopy (EDS), SEMs can provide elemental composition information.
