The Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) is an electron microscope that makes use of electrons
in image formation as opposed to light (Wells). The understanding of how the equipment works
is very important for physics students and scientists. It is therefore very important for
demonstrations to be done in the lab to ensure that the students especially in the university level
are able to comprehend its’ working. The experiment was hence performed to aid the students
understanding of the concept.
