Sample Preparation for Electron Microscopy
For SEM, insulating samples are coated with some noble metals like
Au or Pd
Advantages:
Could be performed in Spectromicroscopy ----spectroscopy of
same sample area of which microscopy is performing. One will be
able to get not only the details of morphology and structure of the
material but also can know the chemical nature or electronic
structure of the material and study mechanical, thermal, optical,
magnetic and many other physical properties too
