Original Abstract

Environmental scanning electron microscope (ESEM) enables observation of non-conductive and water containing samples free of charging artefacts. The most serious difficulty remains in initialization of the pumping process and the initial irrigation process, during which the wetness is insufficient and the sample begins to dry. To prevent the influence of the dehydration within the initial pumping process, utilization of agar as the mean for additional hydration is advantageous.

Keywords
