What Does STEM Stand For?
STEM stands for Scanning Transmission Electron Microscopy
STEM, or Scanning Transmission Electron Microscopy, is an advanced imaging technique that combines the principles of scanning electron microscopy and transmission electron microscopy. It allows for high-resolution imaging and analysis of materials at the atomic level. By transmitting a focused beam of electrons through a thin sample, STEM provides detailed information about the sample's structure, composition, and electronic properties, making it an essential tool in materials science, nanotechnology, and biological research.
