Scanning Electron Microscopy

Detailing surface characteristics​

Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM)

SEM is a cutting-edge analytical tool that scans a focused beam of electrons across the surface of a sample. This interaction generates high-resolution images that detail the sample’s surface characteristics. Scanning Electron Microscopy offers a magnified view into its architecture.  

SEM’s capability to visualize particles in three dimensions transcends traditional microscopy, providing a depth of analysis crucial for understanding complex pharmaceutical formulations.

Scanning Electron Microscopy  offers  a window into the unseen world of materials at the nanoscale. 

How Particle Analytical can help with Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM)

  • Surface analysis and roughness measurement

    Critical for optimizing tablet coating processes and enhancing drug delivery mechanisms.

  • Particle size and shape analysis

    Offers insights into the solubility and release profiles of drug formulations.

  • Quality control and failure analysis

    Identifies contaminants, defects, and distribution inconsistencies, ensuring the highest standards of pharmaceutical product safety and efficacy.
