Scanning Electron Microscopes (SEMs) are crucial for high-resolution imaging and material analysis, and in the Middle East and Africa (MEA) and the Far East, balancing cost and performance is key. The market spans a wide range—from premium systems to budget-friendly alternatives—and includes well-known brands like JEOL, FEI (Thermo Fisher Scientific), and Hitachi, as well as emerging n...
Looking Beyond the Price Tag of SEM Equipment For universities, research centers, and industrial labs in Saudi Arabia, Scanning Electron Microscopes (SEMs) are essential tools. Whether it’s materials science, petrochemicals, nanotechnology, or semiconductor inspection, SEMs provide the high-resolution imaging needed for advanced analysis. However, the actual cost of owning and operating an S...
In 2025, selecting the best EPR spectrometer for academic labs isn’t just about specs on paper. It’s about practical performance, usability, and long-term support. Across Europe, from chemistry departments in France to physics labs in Germany, researchers are rethinking their approach to Electron Paramagnetic Resonance (EPR) spectroscopy. Whether the goal is to teach undergraduates the...
Across chemistry and materials science labs, EPR spectrometers have powered research for decades. But as experimental needs advance, many facilities are facing the same question: When is it time to modernize your EPR system? Instead of costly full replacements, more labs are turning to targeted modernization to bring aging EPR equipment up to current research standards while maximizing existing ha...
The interface between semiconductor materials and metal electrodes plays a critical role in the performance of electronic devices. Surface morphology, chemical composition, and electronic structure at the interface directly impact key factors such as conductivity, stability, and overall device reliability. Therefore, comprehensive characterization of the semiconductor-metal interface is essential ...
Understanding the Role of Porosity in Bone Tissue Engineering 3D-printed bioactive bone scaffolds play a critical role in bone tissue engineering, where porosity is a key parameter that influences cell adhesion, proliferation, nutrient transport, and new bone formation. Both excessively high and low porosity levels can negatively impact the scaffold’s mechanical stability and biological perf...
