scan·ning electron microscope (sk

ng)

n. Abbr. SEM

An electron microscope that forms a three-dimensional image on a cathode-ray tube by moving a beam of focused electrons across an object and reading both the electrons scattered by the object and the secondary electrons produced by it.

scanning electron microscope

(Physics / General Physics) a type of electron microscope that produces a three-dimensional image

scanning electron microscope (sk

ng)

An electron microscope that moves a narrowly focused beam of electrons across an object and detects the patterns made by the electrons scattered by the object and the electrons knocked loose from the object. From these patterns a three-dimensional image of the object is created.
