Scanning Electron Microscope & ceramic production

Scanning Electron Microscope is a sophisticated tool used in many fields of scientific research, even in ceramics.The use of an electron beam instead of light allows to get not only outstanding high resolution images but also detailed information on the composition of the sample.Insights are so accurate and exhaustive that offer manufacturers clear solutions or, at least, suggestions about the actions that should be taken to properly solve production critical issues.How does the tool work and what are its most important functions to support ceramic industry?
