Mounting Samples for SEM: Bulk Samples

Welcome to our series describing basic mounting techniques for some common categories of SEM specimens. In this video, we demonstrate a simple way to mount bulk samples for SEM. Note: The procedures described in this series are a good starting point for samples of this type, using consumables and equipment that can be obtained at the UNSW Electron Microscope Unit. Refinements may need to be made depending on the nature of the sample, configuration of the SEM, your specific analytical needs, and/or the materials available in your own facility. Always follow health and safety protocols as described in your material's safety data sheet (SDS). For more tailored advice, consult staff at the UNSW EMU, your node of Microscopy Australia, or the electron microscopy facility at your own institution.
