What is remote scanning electron microscopy?

Remote scanning electron microscopy (SEM) is a technology that allows users to operate a scanning electron microscope from a different location via the internet. This enables researchers, students, and professionals to analyze samples, capture images, and conduct experiments without being physically present at the lab. Remote SEM is especially useful for collaborative research, education, or when access to specialized equipment is limited. The process typically involves specialized software and a stable internet connection to control the microscope in real time.
