This page offers an image of an acrylic resin covered with water droplets. The image was obtained with a water vapour pressure of 3.3Torr into the analysis chamber of the ESEM XL30 TMP Philips Electron Microscope. The resin surface was cooled down to -3.5 °C to reach water condensation. The ESEM microscope is the only one that allows the observation of water surface in secondary electron imaging. This facility has a lot of applications. For example, it is possible to study the wettability or the hydrophilic properties of surfaces and the reactions between surface and water. The small marker at the right bottom of the image represents a length of 100 µm (0.1 mm).To buy a 300 dpi image.
