Our team is using FEI Quanta 450 FEG for SEM analysis for the first time. We are testing materials like membrances and carbon fibre brush carrying microorganisms. Can you help us with pre-treat methods, materials and techiques to prepare such materials (mentioned above) in order to enhance our analysis?
Sir,
Prior to SEM, you need to have your material on a conducting substrate thereafter, you require gold sputtering before SEM analysis.
Some material didn't need any treatment like cds with thinker layer due to its ability for electron beam but some material such as polymer should be coated with conducted layer with thikness not more 10 nm like gold...
