In scanning electron microscopy (SEM), a fine probe of electrons with energies typically up to 40 keV [kiloelectron volts] is focused on a specimen, and scanned along a pattern of parallel lines. Various signals are generated as a result of the impact of the incident electrons, which are collected to form an image or to analyse the sample surface. These are mainly secondary electrons, with energies of a few tens of eV [electron volts], high-energy electrons backscattered from the primary beam and characteristic X-rays. 5, record 1, English, - scanning%20electron%20microscopy

An instrument similar to an electron microscope in that a beam of electrons is used to scan the surface of a specimen. 6, record 2, English, - scanning%20electron%20microscope
Record number: 2, Textual support number: 1 OBS
The beam is moved in a point-to-point manner over the surface of the specimen. These electrons are deflected, collected, accelerated, and directed against a scintillator. The large number of photons thus created are converted into an electric signal that, in turn, modulates the beam scanning the surface of the specimen. The image produced appears to be three-dimensional and lifelike. 6, record 2, English, - scanning%20electron%20microscope

Microscope électronique à balayage (MEB) [...] Un faisceau d'électrons mitraille l'échantillon. Au contact de la surface, le faisceau perd de l'énergie, et émet des électrons secondaires, des rayons X, de la lumière. Or l'intensité de ces électrons secondaires dépend de la nature du point bombardé et du relief, ce qui permet, après analyse, de construire une image. On voit ainsi la surface des bactéries, pollens, cristaux... 7, record 2, French, - microscope%20%C3%A9lectronique%20%C3%A0%20balayage

Los microscopios electrónicos de barrido se fundan en el mismo principio de la visión natural y proporcionan imágenes extraordinariamente detalladas de objetos opacos. [...] Un haz primario de electrones caracterizado por su fineza barre la superficie del objeto [...] punto por punto y línea por línea. Así herido por el haz, cada uno de los puntos emite electrones secundarios que, debidamente colectados, forman una señal que modula el haz catódico de un catoscopio de televisión. Este haz barre la pantalla luminiscente en sincronismo con el haz primario y forma en ella la imagen del objeto considerablemente ampliado. 2, record 2, Spanish, - microscopio%20electr%C3%B3nico%20de%20barrido

Arroser les semis à titre préventif ou dès que la fonte apparaît, avec 4 à 5 litres au mètre carré d'une bouillie à base de thirame, zinèbe ou manèbe.
