Hello,

I am currently using SEM-EDX to characterize a ceramic membrane. The sample was coated with carbon and attached to sample holder with carbon tape. When I do the analysis the image is constantly moving as shown in attached files. Since I am using EDS, I need 10 KV and therefore cannot reduce electron beam voltage to avoid or reduce this moving phenomenon. 

This has not happened to all of my samples (since I smashed the membrane, I took some small pieces of around 0.5-2 mm). Might it be because of sample size?

I thank you for your kind attention in advance.

Regards
