Original Description:

Learn about different microscopes and what scientists study with them! With the use of light and electron microscopes it is possible to study everything from different cells and bacteria to single molecules or even atoms.

The scanning tunneling microscope (STM) is a type of electron microscope that shows three-dimensional images of a sample. In the STM, the structure of a surface is studied using a stylus that scans the surface at a fixed distance from it.
