Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) uses a focused beam of electrons to image microscopic details of your material in high resolution.
We're here to help! If you're facing challenges such as material defects, surface contamination, or issues with microstructural analysis, Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) testing might be the solution you need. SEM testing can provide detailed images and analysis of material surfaces, helping you identify and understand defects, contamination, and microstructural characteristics.
If you're experiencing any of these issues or have other concerns, share them with us, and let's explore how SEM testing can provide valuable insights and solutions tailored to your needs.
Our SEM-EDS process captures intricate details for failure analysis and produces stunning imagery of the sub-microscopic world, revealing what often goes unnoticed.
This versatile technique is applies to a wide range of materials, including metals, ceramics, plastics, powders, coated surfaces, and even dry food products. Certain biological materials may also be suitable, with additional preparation and safety considerations.
The experienced team at Hayes Metals will guide you through the process, advising on sample requirements, cutting, sectioning, and mounting samples for optimal results.
We provide a comprehensive report with detailed image-by-image interpretation.
Plus, clients can arrange to accompany our staff during the SEM operation for a firsthand experience.
Utilise SEM analysis and imagery for:
- Failure analysis
- Forensic investigation
- Product development
- Identification of contaminating debris
- Detection of fraudulent or counterfeit products
- Educational materials
- Promotional and advertising images
Choose Hayes Metals for precise, insightful, and visually compelling analysis that drives your projects forward.
Are you ready to see your materials in a whole new light? At Hayes, we offer state-of-the-art Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) testing that reveals the intricate details of your samples with unparalleled precision.
