SEM screening of surfaces
In this analysis, a larger area of a sample is screened with a scanning electron microscope (SEM) to find an area of interest containing cracks or impurities. Such areas are likely to be found in a few locations around the sample and might be challenging to identify. In a typical SEM screening, several images with varying magnifications are taken to get a good overall view of the sample surface.
