Why Are Electron Detectors Important in Nanotechnology?
Electron detectors are vital in nanotechnology for several reasons:
High Resolution Imaging: Electron microscopes can achieve much higher resolution compared to optical microscopes because electrons have shorter wavelengths. Elemental Analysis: EDS and EELS provide detailed compositional information, essential for material characterization. Surface and Structural Analysis: Secondary and backscattered electron detectors provide information about surface topography and material structures.
