| Definitions |
It forms images of surfaces using a physical probe that scans the specimen and measuring on a fine scale, down to the level of molecules and groups of atoms. The resolution is not limited by the diffraction, but by the size of probe-sample interaction volume. Atomic force microscopy (AFM), scanning tunneling microscopy (STM), and near-field scanning optical microscopy (NSOM) are the three common scanning probe techniques. |
