9012.10.00.00/Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM)/Japan

Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) from Japan

A scanning electron microscope (SEM) uses a focused beam of electrons to produce high-resolution images of a sample's surface topography and composition. It falls under HTS 9012.10.00.00 as it is a microscope other than an optical microscope, relying on electron microscopy rather than light optics. Commonly used in materials science and biology for detailed surface analysis.
