Dentist Drill Bit Imaging Using Eucentric Tilt
Dental drill bits, commonly referred to as dental burs, are essential tools in modern dentistry, enabling precise and efficient cutting, grinding, and shaping of hard tissues such as teeth and bone. These tiny, high-precision instruments are typically made from materials like tungsten carbide or diamond, ensuring the durability and sharpness required for the demanding conditions of dental procedures…
Dental Implant Stereoscopy
A dental implant is a titanium screw that can be compared to an artificial root. Titanium is biocompatible, meaning that the body does not reject it, allowing the bone to grow directly against it…
SEM Analysis of Medical Stents
Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) is a key technique for stent analysis, offering high-resolution imaging and surface characterization critical for the development, quality control, and failure investigation of medical stents. This application note explores how SEM enables detailed evaluation across various stent types and functional areas. Advanced features—such as secondary electron detection (SED), backscattered electron detection (BSD), and integrated energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS)—allow comprehensive imaging and elemental analysis.
