Chapter 2.1, Problem 2.1CIAP

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The scanning tunnel microscope (STM) advantage should be explained than normal light microscope.

Concept Introduction:

STM: Many of researcher used for this instrument in different research fields chemistry, biological and physical science filed, this instrument determine for images surface at the atomic level. It is devolved in 1981 earned its inventors Gerd Binning and Heinrich Rohrer at IBM Zurich, the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1986.

This instrument has good resolution and is considered to be $\text{0}\text{.1 nm}$ lateral resolution and $\text{0}\text{.01 nm}$$\left(\text{10 pm}\right)$ depth resolution.  The STM can be used not only in UV vacuum but also in air, water and various other liquid or gas ambient and temperature ranging from near zero kelvin to over ${\text{1000}}^{\text{0}}\text{C}$.
