Drying samples for SEM examination
by replacing the fluid in a specimen with liquid carbon dioxide, which is then brought to its critical point. At this precise point, the liquid converts instantly into gas without surface tension, preserving the delicate microstructure of the sample without structural collapse.
CIUS
