Instrument Division, Hitachi Ltd., Ibaraki, Japan.

The focused ion beam (FIB) technique has been applied for digging damageable biological specimens of human hair and the housefly eye. Sharp cross-sections have been formed for these specimens and their cross-sectional structures have been observed in scanning ion microscope (SIM) images. The applicability of FIB has been confirmed for these biological specimens.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007477 Ions An atom or group of atoms that have a positive or negative electric charge due to a gain (negative charge) or loss (positive charge) of one or more electrons. Atoms with a positive charge are known as CATIONS; those with a negative charge are ANIONS.
D008855 Microscopy, Electron, Scanning Microscopy in which the object is examined directly by an electron beam scanning the specimen point-by-point. The image is constructed by detecting the products of specimen interactions that are projected above the plane of the sample, such as backscattered electrons. Although SCANNING TRANSMISSION ELECTRON MICROSCOPY also scans the specimen point by point with the electron beam, the image is constructed by detecting the electrons, or their interaction products that are transmitted through the sample plane, so that is a form of TRANSMISSION ELECTRON MICROSCOPY.
