________ microscopes allow scientists to see atomic structure of molecules.
A) Compound
B) Scanning electron
C) Dissecting
D) Scanning tunneling
E) Confocal scanning

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Scanning tunneling microscopes (STMs) are designed to image surfaces at the atomic level. They work by scanning a very sharp tip close to the surface of a sample and measuring the tunneling current between the tip and the sample, which allows for the visualization of the atomic and molecular structure of the surface.
