FIB-SEM Tomography

This service is suitable for researchers, laboratories, manufacturers, students and technical teams who need FIB-SEM Tomography for morphology, microstructure, surface or cellular imaging. It is especially useful when you can state the material type, expected feature or analyte, and the decision you want to make from the scan.

Submit a small, representative specimen that is clean, dry and clearly labelled. Avoid loose powder unless it is securely contained; non-conductive samples may require mounting and conductive coating, which can add preparation time or cost. Provide dimensions, material type, expected defect/feature size and the region of interest. Clean the relevant surface and identify any areas that must not be cut, coated, contacted or otherwise altered during preparation. For FIB-SEM Tomography, label every submitted item so it can be matched unambiguously to your request and state whether the material may be consumed, coated, cut or otherwise altered during analysis.

For FIB-SEM Tomography, provide the sample ID, material/matrix, source or batch, analytical objective, expected composition or feature if known, required detection/measurement range, number of replicates, and any method or standard you need followed. Declare hazardous properties and storage requirements before dispatch.

The laboratory will review sample suitability, prepare or mount the specimen where needed, acquire the fib-sem tomography data and perform the level of processing included in the order. Depending on FIB-SEM Tomography, your deliverables may include images, spectra, chromatograms, maps, profiles, measurements or annotated figures.

Sample acceptance for FIB-SEM Tomography depends on safe handling. Clearly disclose toxic, infectious, radioactive, explosive, highly flammable, corrosive, pressurised or otherwise hazardous materials. The laboratory may refuse or request special packaging for samples that cannot be handled safely on the available instrument.

Results for FIB-SEM Tomography should be interpreted against the sample preparation, instrument settings, calibration status, resolution/detection limits and the representativeness of the submitted material. If you need publication-grade figures, raw instrument files, quantitative calculations or a signed technical report, state this before analysis because these may not be included in a basic scan price.

Do not send irreplaceable material until the laboratory confirms the amount required and whether the method is destructive. For FIB-SEM Tomography, sample coating, sectioning, digestion, extraction, standards, repeat runs, advanced mapping, extra fields of view or expert interpretation can change the final price and turnaround time.
