Welcome
to the Electron Microscopy Unit of the Botany
Department, University of Fort Hare.
The Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) uses
electrons rather than light to form an image and
presents researchers with huge advantages over an
ordinary micro- scope. It has a vast depth of field,
which allows a larger amount of the sample to be in
focus at one time while producing images of very
high resolution.
The preparation of samples is relatively easy while
the combination of higher magnification and larger
depth of field makes the SEM indispensable to
scientific research.
