Can scanning tunnel microscopy be used for larger objects say a die?

Sure. You can look at any part of something, but remember the scale you are working on. Using an STM would be like using a magnifying glass on a soccer field.

How was the mount MacDonald tunnel built?
The tunnel was built under two contracts. One contractor used conventional drill and blast to excavate the entire 40 ft. high by 20 ft. wide tunnel profile, working from the west portal. The east portal contractor excavated a +or- 20 ft. diameter top heading with a tunnel boring machine and then used drill and blast to remove the remaining "bench". The tunnel was lined with concrete after excavation was complete. A third contractor built the ventilation shaft. The tunnel uses a unique ventilation system that consists of the shaft, a tail tunnel connecting the shaft to the main tunnel and doors at either end of the tunnel and near the vent shaft tail tunnel. The doors open and close so as to push exhaust out the vent shaft or pull fresh air from the vent shaft into the tunnel, depending on the position of the train in the tunnel. The tunnel was built to reduce the grade for westbound coal trains. This reduced the need for up to nine additional locomotives to push the coal trains up the steeper grade of the Connaught Tunnel.
What are the names of some science tools?
# the tong which is used for picking up hot objects # the test tube which is used to hold and boil chemicals # the tripod which is used for holding objects # the crucible which is used to heat solids to high temperatures # the piperclay triangle which sits in a tripod and carries a crucible # the filter tunnel which is used to put liquids into bottles # the beaker which contains liquids and gives rough measurements to get a good idea of the many different types of laboratory equipment with out specifying a specific scientific area try various laboratory product news web sites and publications such as modern-laboratory.com although this one only lists product press releases from companies, but you get the idea. Try looking in google images for laboratory equipment :)

What are the advantages of scanning tunneling microscopy?
Scanning tunnel microscopy has many advantages. It captures much more detail than other microscopes for better understanding of specimen. They can be used in various mediums like ultra high vacuum, air, water etc. They can work in a range of temperatures.
Who invented the scanning tunneling microscope?

How does wind tunnel affect the environment?
It doesn't directly. A wind tunnel is used to detect the airflow over objects such as cars and planes to improve the streamlining.

How a scanning tunnel microscope works?
A conducting tip is brought very close to the surface of the object of interest Some electrons can "tunnel" through the space between the object and the conducting tip, creating a current. The way current varies as the tip is moved across the surface is used to determine the shape of the surface.
What is the largest tunnel used for automobiles?
Currently (2009) the longest road tunnel in the world is the Laerdal Tunnel in Norway. It is 24.5 km (15.2 miles) long. Due to its extreme length the tunnel is split into four sections separated by three larger chambers to provide an opportunity for drivers to rest. Please see the related links.

What is a Baggage Scanning Machine?
Baggage Scanning Machine is a most common equipment used for security reasons now a days. It is used to check luggage in detail and also in short time. When a bag enters into the tunnel of scanner, sensors on both side senses it and send a message to X-Ray Generator which generates X-Ray. The X-rays passes through the bag and make an image on the screen.
