Characterization of surface properties of ordered nanostructures using SEM stereoscopic technique

A finite element methodology for wear–fatigue analysis for modular hip implants

“…The SEM methodology employed here uses the stereoscopic technique [36]. Specifically it adopts the recently developed Alicona Mex software package for SEM testing which turns any SEM with digital imaging into a true surface metrology device with extremely accurate wear measurement capability.…”

Advanced Characterisation Techniques for Nanostructures

“…Recently the SEM technique has been applied towards a range of applications such as determining the effects of gelling agents on the morphology of ZnSnO3 nanostructures [1], examining the surface morphology and nano surface features of flat objects [2] and measuring the diameters of silicon, latex and gold spherical nanoparticles with mean diameter of 15nm [3]. It has been observed that SEM performance can be increased by utilising the secondary electron detector at low magnifications to image TaS2 nano tube bundles as seen in figure 3.1.…”

Scanning Electron Microscopy: Extrapolation of 3D Data from SEM Micrographs

“…On the other hand, scanning electron microscopy is one of the most powerful techniques for studying fine structures of different surfaces. For example, SEM stereoscopic technique was used to determine the three-dimensional surface structures of volcanic ash particles [22] or pipettes [23], or even surface properties of nanostructures [24]. It is very well known, that stereoscopy simulates human vision by combining two pictures of a specimen from two slightly different angles.…”
