Definition: A type of TRANSMISSION ELECTRON MICROSCOPY in which the object is examined directly by an extremely narrow electron beam scanning the specimen point-by-point and using the reactions of the electrons that are transmitted through the specimen to create the image. It should not be confused with SCANNING ELECTRON MICROSCOPY.
do not confuse with MICROSCOPY, ELECTRON, SCANNING nor with MICROSCOPY, ELECTRON, TRANSMISSION; since the techniques have different applications, do not interpret: if in doubt, use words of author
Other names Scanning Transmission Electron Microscopy; STEM; Electron Microscopy, Scanning Transmission
