Remarks / Special Instructions (if any):

Description : The scanning electron microscope (SEM) is a type of microscope that uses a beam of electrons to create an image of the specimen. It is capable of much higher magnifications and has a greater resolving power than a light microscope, allowing it to see much smaller objects in finer detail. Lanthanum hexaboride (LaB6) has emerged as a preferred electron source in SEM due to its high brightness, long operational life, and excellent stability. Applications : nanomaterial characterization, semiconductor inspection, failure analysis in materials science, and high-vacuum electron beam lithography
