SEM / EDX @ IPFW

This is an image of the Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) in the Geosciences department at IPFW.  The SEM is a tool that can be used to create a high resolution topography of the suface of a sample being scanned.  Additional sensors may be attached to the chamber, allowing the analysis of the elemental makeup of the material.
