The surface of a solid sample is irradiated with electron beams, and the secondary electrons, backscattered electrons, and characteristic X-ray generated from the sample are then detected, observed, and analyzed.
Usage
(1) Deeper focal depth than an optical microscope
(2) Observation of sample shape, fractured surface, and microscopic area
(3) Qualitative analysis of the observed portion's chemical composition
