All We Are Is Dust in the…Scanning Electron Microscope?

Dust. It’s everywhere, or as Kansas sings, it’s everything.

Yet it’s something everyone is always looking to clean up and get rid of.

Daniel Lund from Glenwood Intermediate School got rid of some dust by sending it to ASPEX Corporation for image analysis using the ASPEX Personal SEM.



Manual image analysis was performed on the dust using the ASPEX PSEM eXplorer. The customer had requested that ASPEX provide images, so reports were prepared using ASPEX Personal Image Print II (PIPTM).

Backscanner electron detector (BSED) images were collected under high vacuum conditions and 20 KeV. The sample was gold coated to eliminate sample charging.
