What Does ESEM Stand For?

ESEM stands for Environmental Scanning Electron Microscopy

Environmental Scanning Electron Microscopy (ESEM) is a sophisticated imaging technique that allows for the observation of samples in their native, hydrated state under a controlled environment. Unlike traditional scanning electron microscopy, ESEM enables the examination of the surface and internal structure of materials without the need for sample dehydration or conductive coating. This technique is particularly valuable in fields such as materials science, biology, and nanotechnology, as it provides high-resolution images and detailed morphological information while preserving the sample's natural properties. ESEM's capability to analyze samples in various gaseous environments further enhances its applicability for real-time studies of dynamic processes and interactions at the micro and nanoscale.
