What is Environmental Scanning Electron Microscopy (ESEM)?
Environmental Scanning Electron Microscopy (ESEM) is a powerful imaging technique that allows for the examination of biological and other samples in their natural, hydrated state without the need for extensive and potentially damaging preparation steps. Unlike conventional SEM, which requires samples to be dehydrated and coated with a conductive material, ESEM can operate under variable pressure conditions, enabling the study of wet and insulating samples.
