(physics) the instrument used in field emission microscopy

A microscope that uses the change of phase when light is transmitted or reflected from a transparent or reflective specimen to form an image; used especially to study living cells.

A device used to form an image of the surface of a conductor or semiconductor with atomic resolution.

An electron microscope whose image is made up of a matrix of points from scanning the surface of a sample.

(physics) A device used to map the atomic structure of a surface by measuring the force acting on the very fine tip of a wire moved over the surface

A device that uses soft X-rays to produce images of very small objects.

A form of electron microscope in which a beam of electrons is transmitted through a thin layer of sample.

plural of monochromated scanning transmission electron microscope

(physics) An electron microscope that transmits a very narrow beam of electrons through a sample; it can detect individual large or heavy atoms.

A scanning laser microscope that uses a short excitation pulse followed by a depletion pulse tuned to an emission line of a fluorescent dye
