8 Scanning Electron Microscopy

9 Lenses and detectors

10 SEM Setup Electron/Specimen Interactions When the electron beam strikes a sample, both photon and electron signals are emitted. Incident Beam Specimen X-rays Through thickness composition info Auger electrons Surface sensitive compositional Primary backscattered electrons Atomic number and topographical Cathodoluminescence Electrical Secondary electrons Topographical Specimen Current Electrical

11 Specimen/Beam Interactions Monte Carlo simulation

12 Beam Penetration Z represents molecular composition of material E represents energy of incident electron beam

13 3.0 KeV 20.0 KeV Effects of Accelerating Voltage

14 Backscatter electron detector

15 Conventional SEM Specimen at high vacuum – requires sample fixation and dehydration or freezing. Charging is minimized by coating sample with metal or carbon or lowering the operating kV.

16 SEM Cryo-preservation Preserves sample in hydrated state Maintains structural integrity Ice crystal formation can be avoided Sublimation used to remove excess water

22 Variable Pressure Scanning Electron Microscope - Vacuum in the sample chamber can range from high vacuum (< 10-6 Pascals) up to 3,000 Pa. - Gas in the sample chamber allows uncoated and unfixed samples to be imaged. - -Detectors used at higher pressures are backscatter or special secondary detectors. - Moisture on the sample can be controlled by cooling/heating stage and water injection system.

32 Applications Live centipede Bacteria and biofilm on rock Kamchatka samples - Paul Schroeder Live Drosophila larva

33 Pattern produced in silica gel

34 Skyscan 1072 Micro-CT X-Ray Tomography Scanner

35 MicroCT X-ray imaging that reconstructs images to form cross-sections and volumetric information. Resolution to 5  m, 3D reconstruction, density measurements. Any sample works having differential density within sample (e.g. bone vs. tissue, or addition of x-ray contrast agents) Applications – Bone, insects, food science, material science, substrate/cell distribution.

36 Object is rotated 180 degrees. Images captured at one degree increments. Reconstructions done on aligned images to create volume data. http://www.phoenix-xray.com
