An invaluable method for assessing the surface morphology of a wide range of materials and samples, including those used in medical applications, is scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) has long been an indispensable tool in materials science and nanotechnology, providing unparalleled insights into the microstructure and surface morphology of various materials. Recent advancements have extended the utility of SEM beyond traditional fields, including its promising applications in medicine and biomedical research. By leveraging the high-resolution imaging capabilities of SEM, researchers can delve deeper into the intricate structures of biological specimens, complexities of cellular architecture, tissue organization, and disease pathology. SEM provides more information on biocompatibility, surface interactions, and structural integrity of medical implants and devices, paving the way for enhanced diagnostic and therapeutic strategies. SEM has long been used to characterize the surface topography of cells and tissues. SEM has been utilized in Cell Surface Imaging, Drug delivery system, Tissue Microstructure, gastrointestinal, and cardiology to advance understanding of disease early stages. SEM can produce high-resolution pictures of inanimate and biological particles, allowing for a thorough examination of a range of medical applications.

Industrial filters are important components in the manufacturing and processing of polymer products. They are used to remove impurities, contaminants, and foreign particles from polymer materials, ensuring high-quality and consistent products. The polymer industry, which is at the centre of contemporary manufacturing, is under increasing pressure to strike a balance between environmental sustainability and the demand for outstanding product quality. In this perspective, industrial filters stand out as unsung heroes who have a significant impact on the polymers manufacture. This in-depth analysis explores the most recent advancements in industrial filtering technology and their strategic uses in the production of polymers. It emphasizes how these filters successfully remove pollutants, impurities, and undesired particles from the polymer feedstock, producing products that stand out for having better mechanical, thermal, and optical qualities. Furthering the cause of sustainability and ecologically responsible production, the elimination of unwanted by-products, and the maintenance of constant polymer compositions greatly reduce waste formation. Analyses of case studies and practical instances provide verifiable proof of the revolutionary advantages offered by industrial filters. These benefits include improved energy efficiency, lower maintenance costs, and the establishment of an unwavering standard for product quality. The research also explores the use of green filtering systems, which not only boost output, but also comply with the growing demand for environmentally responsible manufacturing methods.
