Introduction to Field Emission Scanning Electron Microscopy

This 2-page lab guide, created by Pennsylvania State University and the Nanotechnology Applications and Career Knowledge Center (NACK), is for a laboratory activity focused on the operation field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM) equipment. During the lab, students observe and take note of the necessary steps to operate Zeiss Ultra 55 FESEM microscope as demonstrated by a professor. The lab guide includes background information on FESEM and the Zeiss Ultra 55, prerequisite training, and six student questions based on the demonstration.
