The invention relates to the technical field of preparation of samples for scanning electron microscopy, and particularly relates to a method for preparing a micron ionic crystal powder sample for scanning electron microscopy. The method includes steps of (1) dispersing, (2) sampling, (3) preparing resin glue, (4) performing cold mounting to prepare a sample and (5) spraying gold. The prepared powder scanning electron microscopy sample is uniform in powder dispersion so that particle caking and agglomeration can be avoided. The powder sample is tightly bound with the resin glue and adhesive force is high so that the powder can be firmly embedded. Compared with traditional methods, the method can effectively overcome a problem that samples fly away from sample tables during vacuumization and testing and pollute microscopy cavities due to low binding force between powder and conductive glue. After gold plating, electrical conductivity of the powder sample is improved, images are made clear and clear electron microscopy observation having high resolution can be achieved. The method has characteristics of a short sample preparing period, simple operation and good practicability.
