Reference standards are used for a variety of specific assessment purposes and are crucial for maintaining the accuracy and reliability of SEM imaging and analysis. Available in a variety of materials and types dependent on their specific application, reference standards can be employed to calibrate SEMs and evaluate their performance in the areas of resolution, magnification, composition, contrast, and more.

At EMS, we carry a wide range of reference standards for SEM, including pure metal standards, NBS standards, BAS standards, compound standards, electron backscatter particle analysis standards, and geological/silicate material standards blocks. These standards vary in application from calibration for energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy
(EDS) systems to determining the spatial resolution of the SEM. For your convenience, also offer product kits outfitted with multiple calibration, standards, and assessment tools, such as the Quality Control Testing Standard.
