Question
Chapter 4, Problem 8SA
Summary Introduction
To answer:
To understand the scanning tunneling microscope requirements that prevent the live specimen image.
Introduction:
Scanning tunneling microscope is an instrument used for imaging the atomic level surfaces. It mainly works on the phenomenon called tunneling, where it passes a metallic probe, sharpened to the end in a single atom back and forth across the surface of the specimen.
