Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Scanning tunneling microscopy is the only technique listed that has the ability to image individual atoms and molecules on a surface. Transmission microscopy and electron microscopy can provide high-resolution images of cells and tissues but cannot image individual atoms. Magnetic resonance and X-ray spectroscopy are useful for studying the properties of molecules but do not have the resolution to directly image individual atoms.
