Read MoreImaging and Analysis in oneMar 27, 2012Until now it was possible to view samples fast and easy. Now it is also possible to see what the sample is made of. Imaging samples gives details on sample structure and shape. If this reveals that the sample is damaged, polluted or holds an inclusion then it is important to investigate the root cause. This requires material analysis on top of imaging. With the Phenom proX desktop SEM - the ultimate all-in-one imaging and elemental analysis system, sample structures can be physically examined and their elemental composition determined..
