Description

This scanning electron micrograph of salmonella bacteria, was made possible by using low kV to visualize the surface detail of the bacteria. The image was taken with the VcD (backscatter detector), using beam decelleration.

Technical Details

The image was collected on FEI instrument: Nova NanoSEM Family using the following parameters: Magnification: 80,000x, Horizontal Field Width: 3.73μm, Voltage: 1 kV, Detector: VcD, Spot: 2 nA, and Working Distance: 5.9 mm.
