The Phenom Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) is turning 20 this year! In celebration of this milestone, it is worth reflecting on how the platform has evolved, from the first true benchtop SEM bridging optical and electron microscopy, to a family of systems capable of advanced surface and transmission imaging, analysis, and automation. A condensed timeline for the Pheno...

Color matching in polymer compounding involves formulating and adjusting pigments, dyes, and additives to achieve a precise, repeatable target color, an essential requirement for ensuring product quality, brand consistency, and compliance.

Scanning Transmission Electron Microscopy (STEM) is a scanning-based imaging technique that uses a focused electron beam to raster scan across an ultra-thin sample, typically <150 nm. Although STEM is similar to Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), it differs fundamentally in how electrons interact with the sample and how signals are generated (comparison shown in T...
