In the field of analytical instrumentation, both Electron Spin Resonance (ESR) spectrometers and Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) spectrometers play an important role. Although they use similar principles, there are significant differences between the two techniques. ESR Spectrometer: Electron Spin Resonance (ESR) spectrometers are employed to study the behavior of unpaired electrons within...
In microscopic imaging, two dominant techniques have revolutionized our understanding of the complexity of the nanoworld: scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). These powerful tools have opened up new avenues for a variety of scientific disciplines, allowing researchers to delve into the composition, structure, and behavior of a wide range of materials. We c...
When using a Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM), you often hear about backscattered electrons (BSE) and secondary electrons (SE). But what exactly are they? And why should you care? If you're diving into electron microscopy, understanding these two types of electrons is essential for interpreting images and optimizing results. In this blog, we will break down the difference between backscattered e...
