- This is a biological sample. Guess what sample is this?
- Relevant Equations
- SEM-EX results
Summary:: SEM-EDX Analysis
Hi! Just would like to ask for some insights. I needed to identify the material based on its SEM-EDX results. However, after several researches, I still have no idea what it is. Any idea would help. thanks.
Edit:
Another information given to me was that this is a biological sample. Hence, I started my analysis with the idea that this is a biological sample with hairy-like structures. These "hair-like" structures are very much hairlike as the SEM shows that it is of similar thickness with an average human hair. Furthermore, these hair-like structures are less than half a centimeter long only. I was thinking it might be a leaf with hairy features but I couldn't seem to find a leaf that is mainly composed of silicon. I then thought that it might be some sort of an insect, yet, still, I couldn't find any insect that's basically like an Si-O species.
