XRM for Pharmaceuticals and Medical Devices

X-ray microscopy (aka micro-CT) can be used to inspect tablets, medical packaging and final products. It’s a non-destructive way of examining the inside of your sample, with sub-micron resolution.

High Resolution Imaging with FEG-SEM

Due to the high performance at low acceleration voltage of FEG compared to other SEM electron sources, you can study insulating and beam-sensitive materials without sample preparation. Samples are not damaged by the beam and nanoscale features are clearly visible. For example, the image below of zeolite was taken with the Thermo Scientific Phenom Pharos G2, the only desktop FEG-SEM. More about the technique…
