Image of pollen grains taken on a SEM shows the characteristic depth of field of SEM micrographs M. von Ardenne's first SEM SEM with opened sample chamber Analog type SEM. A scanning electron microscope (SEM) is a type of electron microscope that produces images of a sample by scanning the surface with a focused beam of electrons.
This helps in identification with the help of available reference collections to make comparisons on the pollen's characteristics. [19] The scanning electron microscope (SEM) has been used traditionally since the 1970s for primary identification of palynomorphs, but is very time-consuming, tedious, and not ideal for routine analysis.

The environmental scanning electron microscope (ESEM) is a scanning electron microscope (SEM) that allows for the option of collecting electron micrographs of specimens that are wet, uncoated, or both by allowing for a gaseous environment in the specimen chamber.
SEM image of pollen grains. Sporopollenin is a biological polymer found as a major component of the tough outer (exine) walls of plant spores and pollen grains. It is chemically very stable (one of the most inert among biopolymers) [1] and is usually well preserved in soils and sediments.
Studies of the geographic distribution and seasonal production of pollen, can be used to forecast pollen conditions, helping sufferers of allergies such as hay fever. Melissopalynology: the study of pollen and spores found in honey. Archaeological palynology examines human uses of plants in the past. This can help determine seasonality of site ...
Pollen microspores of Lycopersicon esculentum at coenocytic tetrad stage of development observed through oil immersion microscope; the chromosomes of what will become four pollen grains can be seen. In angiosperms, during flower development the anther is composed of a mass of cells that appear undifferentiated, except for a partially ...
A scanning transmission electron microscope (STEM) is a type of transmission electron microscope (TEM). Pronunciation is [stɛm] or [ɛsti:i:ɛm]. As with a conventional transmission electron microscope (CTEM), images are formed by electrons passing through a sufficiently thin specimen. However, unlike CTEM, in STEM the electron beam is focused ...
(a) Optically sectioned fluorescence images of a pollen grain. (b) Combined image. (c) Combined image of a group of pollen grains. [1]Optical sectioning is the process by which a suitably designed microscope can produce clear images of focal planes deep within a thick sample.
