SCANNING ELECTRON MICROSCOPY – SEM
Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) represents one of the most advanced and precise techniques for analyzing materials and surfaces at the microscopic level. APM, through its dedicated SEM laboratory, provides clients with the opportunity to conduct detailed and customized analyses, supported continuously by our team of experts and offering the possibility for direct collaboration throughout the process. This technology enables the acquisition of ultra-high-resolution images and the collection of comprehensive information on the morphology and composition of materials.
SCANNING ELECTRON MICROSCOPY (SEM) FOR ADVANCED ANALYSIS – APM TORINO
Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) is an essential tool for examining the surface of a sample with resolutions ranging from a few nanometers to micrometers. Compared to traditional optical microscopy, SEM delivers significantly sharper and more detailed images, enabling the exploration of material microstructures with unprecedented precision. Additionally, SEM facilitates chemical analyses via energy-dispersive spectroscopy (EDS), which identifies the elemental composition of materials.
A Personalized Approach: Direct Client Collaboration
At APM, the client is not merely an observer but an integral part of the analysis process. In our SEM laboratory, analyses are conducted by our operator in direct collaboration with the client, ensuring that both the production cycle and specific client requirements are fully considered. This collaborative approach provides the advantage of interpreting and understanding analysis results in depth, offering detailed insights into issues related to the product or material under examination. Consequently, the scanning electron microscope becomes a highly integrated tool within the client’s production activities, positioning electron microscopy not only as a laboratory analysis but also as continuous, direct support for problem resolution, process enhancement, and product innovation.
CUSTOMIZED CONTRACTS: EASY ACCESS TO ELECTRONIC MICROSCOPY
To meet the specific needs of our clients, APM offers tailored contracts that provide seamless access to the scanning electron microscopy laboratory. Clients can easily and quickly schedule analysis sessions with a simple phone booking system. This rapid access framework ensures great flexibility, allowing clients to use the electron microscope according to their needs, reducing waiting times, and ensuring a highly efficient and cost-effective service.
