Preparation of samples for scanning electron microscopy analysis

Samples are cut to appropriate size, and then dehydrated with a critical point dryer. Afterwards they are placed on conductive platforms and, if necessary, coated with a nano-layer of conductive material (Au, Pt). These sample-baring platforms are then placed into a SEM specimen chamber.
