Automated SEM workflows driving faster, cleaner and more consistent analysis

Automated scanning electron microscopy (SEM) workflows offer a powerful way to accelerate and standardize complex imaging and analysis tasks, reducing repetitive manual steps while strengthening QC imaging, particle and material measurement, and technical cleanliness assessments. Discover how Electron Microscope Flow Creator (EMFlow) supports these advances as Dr. Thomas Schmidt of Hitachi High‑Tech Europe demonstrates its impact on standardization, accuracy, and overall operational efficiency across demanding SEM applications.

Electron MicroscopyElectron microscopes (EM) are used to create high-resolution images of samples at the nanoscale by means of an accelerated beam of electrons as a source of illumination. Types of electron microscope include scanning electron microscopes (SEM), transmission electron microscopes (TEM), scanning transmission electron microscopes (STEM) and cryo-electron microscopes. Focused ion beam (FIB) microscopes are useful for modifying or milling a sample surface with nanometer precision, as well as imaging.
