(STM) uses an electron beam not only to image things, getting resolution at the atomic level, but actually manipulate them too -a powerful technique for viewing surfaces at an atomic level. -invented by Gerd Binnig and Heinrich Rohrer -based on the concept of quantum tunneling

What does a scanning tunneling microscope allow scientists to see?
The scanning tunneling microscope scans samples using a very fine metallic tip.
How large do you think the needle is in the scanning tunneling mircoscope?
Needle in the scanning tunneling microscope is about 10 nanometers.
What type of microscope do scientists use to see an atom?
Scanning tunneling microscope
You can see atoms using a scanning tunneling microscope?
The needle doesn't actually touch the atoms, but you can their outlines.
What do the scanning tunneling microscope and the one-angstrom microscope allow scientist to see?
I think that it comfirmed the long held suspicion that you can see paterns in matter. I'm not sure what the tunneling microscope does.
Who invented the scanning tunneling microscope?
a scanning tunneling microscope measures electrons that leak, or 'tunnel', fromthe surface of specimen

How do you see atoms?
With a Scanning tunneling microscope STM
What type of microscope do scientists use to see an atom?
Scanning tunneling microscope
Which microscope can be used to visualize DNA or botulinum toxin?
Scanning tunneling microscope
What allows scientist to see atoms?
scanning tunneling microscope
What technique can be used to visualize individual atoms?
In 1981 the Scanning Tunneling Microscope (STM) was invented. The STM has ultrahigh resolution and can image single atoms.
What machine is used to look at an atom?
Scanning tunneling electron microscope
Which type of microscope allows the viewing of living cells?
scanning tunneling electron microscope, or STM
You can see atoms using a scanning tunneling microscope?
The needle doesn't actually touch the atoms, but you can their outlines.
How is a scanning tunneling microscope used?
to see images of surface at the atomic level!
