An ESD microscope operates in a controlled environment to minimize the effects of air and moisture on the sample. This enables the observation of non-conductive or hydrated specimens without the need for extensive sample preparation. ESD microscopes are utilized across scientific research, material analysis, and industrial applications to study surface structures with exceptional detail and precision.
These microscopes have high-speed imaging capabilities to capture the passing of ESD events, as well as the ability to analyze materials at a microscopic level to understand the effects of ESD on them. It can be used in various fields such as electronics manufacturing, failure analysis, and research related to electrostatic discharge phenomena.
