Electrospinning: A Versatile Technique for Fabricating Diverse Fiber Microstructures
Electrospinning is a powerful and versatile technique used to produce nonwoven ultrafine fibers with controlled microstructures. Electrospinning can be used to fabricate fibers of different diameters ranging from 20 nm to more than 10 µm. Fibers can be fabricated from solution, emulsion, suspension, sol-gel or slurry composed from different materials like polymers (natural, semi-synthetic and synthetic), ceramics, metals and/or different types of additives. Its ability to process a wide range of materials and produce fibers with tailored properties has made it a cornerstone in applications like textiles, medical & healthcare, energy, filtration, packaging, automotive, and aerospace.
Large-area Mapping Workflows in Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM)
Large-area imaging in scanning electron microscopy (SEM) is a technique for exploring expansive regions of a sample at high resolution, making it invaluable in fields such as materials science, electronics, and life sciences. However, capturing high-resolution images across large sample areas presents unique challenges, including time constraints and data management. This is where image stitching algorithms come into play, enabling researchers to seamlessly combine multiple high-magnification images into a single, comprehensive view (often referred to as a large-area map). In this blog, we’ll dive into how large-area mapping works, explore various image stitching software and workflows, and discuss how these techniques can improve efficiency and enhance imaging results.
