Optimizing SEM Parameters

The posters below are designed to provide guidance for optimization of beam current, beam voltage, and dwell time in SEM.  No two samples are alike, so try to understand the impact of each parameter in the context of your sample and the information you are hoping to learn from the SEM images that you collect.
