SCANNING PROBE MICROSCOPE

A scanning probe is another type of a microscope. The main function of the scanning probe microscope is to scan the plane surface of a specimen in order to figure out a three-dimensional image of the group of atoms or molecules on the surface of the specimen. A probe is a very jagged metal point which can be very narrow like a single atom at the tip. Scanning tunneling microscope (or the STM) is a very good example of the scanning probe microscope. There are a lot of websites in the internet that offers the scanning probe microscope, such as TrueVision Microscopes. These microscopes for sale are cheaper that other microscopes which you know are for sale.
