What Does STEM Stand For?
STEM stands for Scanning Transmission Electron Microscope
STEM, or Scanning Transmission Electron Microscope, is an advanced imaging technique that combines the principles of scanning and transmission electron microscopy. It utilizes a finely focused electron beam to scan a specimen while simultaneously transmitting electrons through it, enabling high-resolution imaging and analysis of material structures at the atomic level. STEM is widely used in materials science, nanotechnology, and biomedical research for its ability to provide detailed information about the composition and morphology of samples.
