Concept information
Preferred term
scanning probe microscopy
Definition
- The idea that a small solid probe, kept very close to a surface, might collect data unavailable to other forms of microscopy is surprisingly old. Theoretical descriptions of scanning probe microscopes have existed since the 1920s, and experimental implementations since the late 1960s.
