The resolution of SEMs is now suitable for nano-materials characterization. High resolution SEM is a powerful instrument for imaging fine structures of materials and nanoparticles fabricated by nanotechnology. In lens SE, BSE modes, and STEM mode are often performed to check the structure of CNT growths or CNT as delivered by commercial producers, and sometimes coupled with TEM. Even the single-walled carbon nanotubes can easily be observed by HR-SEM (see Figure 3.13). The STEM mode can also be used for free CNT observation (75).
