From August 2 to 6, CIQTEK participated in Microscopy & Microanalysis 2026 (M&M 2026) at the Baird Center in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, USA. At Booth 718, CIQTEK presented its SEM3300 tungsten filament scanning electron microscope and met with conference attendees.

M&M is an annual forum for the science and technology of microscopy and microanalysis. During the event, CIQTEK displayed the SEM3300 tungsten filament SEM at its booth. Through product materials, image displays, and on-site conversations, the team introduced CIQTEK's electron microscopy products and application directions to visitors.

On August 3, CIQTEK delivered a Vendor Tutorial titled:

Unlocking the Power of Unique High-Speed Scanning Electron Microscopy with No Compromise of Superb Imaging Resolution at Low kV for Large Scale Volume Microscopy Applications from CIQTEK

The presentation focused on high-speed scanning electron microscopy for large-scale volume microscopy applications. Attendees joined the presentation and exchanged ideas with the CIQTEK team at the booth.

Throughout the conference, the CIQTEK team welcomed visitors and held conversations on electron microscopy products and related applications. We thank the M&M 2026 organizers and everyone who visited the CIQTEK booth. CIQTEK will continue to develop electron microscopy technologies and products for scientific and industrial users.

Conference Details

The SEM uses a high-resolution electron beam to capture crisp images of PCB surface morphology. It reveals solder pad plating, intermetallic compounds, micro-cracks, tin whiskers, and foreign particle contamination with exceptional clarity.

Coupled with energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS), the SEM also performs elemental analysis on microscopic regions. This combination lets engineers identify the chemical signature of defects, making it straightforward to spot issues like short circuits, open circuits, corrosion, and plating anomalies.

FIB Nanoscale Cutting: The "Scalpel" for Internal Structures

While the SEM excels at surface imaging, the FIB takes over when you need to see what is happening inside the board. Using a nanometer-precision ion beam, the FIB performs targeted cross-sectioning at the exact defect location. It prepares ultra-thin slices through multi-layer boards, blind vias, and buried vias, exposing internal structures that mechanical sectioning simply cannot reach.

Think of the FIB as a microscopic surgical tool. It removes material with nanometer accuracy, leaving a clean cross-section ready for imaging and analysis.

The Beauty of the Microscopic World, Revealed in Every Detail.

Here are real examples of CIQTEK electron microscopes in PCB cross-section observation:
