A scanning electron microscope (SEM) refers to a highly powerful electron microscope that generates sample images upon scanning the sample surface with a focused beam of electrons instead of light, thereby allowing to see images at up to 100 million times magnification. The microscope uses electron beams to collide with atoms in the sample and generate signals that provide information on the sample composition and the topography of the surface. SEMs are divided into two broad categories: conventional pressure SEM, which delivers images at atmospheric pressures, and variable pressure SEM, which visualizes samples in vacuum conditions as well as under elevated pressures. SEMs provide numerous benefits, including compact design, elemental product analysis, 3D imagery, and effective results with greater resolution. Consequently, they find extensive applications in research laboratory quality control procedures and various industries, including microelectronics, automotive, semiconductor, and pharmaceuticals.

Scanning Electron Microscopes Market Trends: 

The market is primarily driven by the increasing number of laboratories in academic institutes. Moreover, the escalating adoption of SEMs in different disciplinary studies, such as surface morphology and topography, fractography, and chemical analysis, are providing a boost to the market growth. In line with this, the growing prevalence of various chronic disorders across the globe has led to rising investments in research and development (R&D) activities for continual improvements in the healthcare infrastructure, thereby impelling the product demand. The market is further driven by continuous product innovations, such as the advent of attachment provisions for appliances like energy x-ray dispersion spectrometers, and technological advancements, such as improvements in the resolution power. Some of the other factors that are also creating a positive outlook for the market include the advent of nanotechnology and the widespread preference for outsourcing electric equipment manufacturing.
