A desktop scanning electron microscope (SEM) offers many options when it comes to understanding the behavior of microbacteria. As microbacteria often play a role in the inflammation process, the spread of disease and resistance to antibiotics, they need to be observed in great detail. Microbacterial infections can be a cause for rejection of implants such as catheters, prosthetic implants or other medical devices. A SEM can help understand biofilm formation, communication of bacteria and the morphology of microbacteria.
