What Does SOM Stand For?
SOM stands for Scanning Optical Microscope
The Scanning Optical Microscope (SOM) is a high-resolution imaging tool that utilizes focused light beams to scan and visualize samples at a microscopic scale. It combines optical and electronic techniques to generate detailed images of specimen surfaces, enabling researchers to analyze microstructures, materials, and biological samples with precision. The SOM is particularly valuable in fields such as materials science, biology, and nanotechnology, offering insights that are critical for innovative research and development.
