Preferred Label : microscopy, scanning probe;
MeSH definition : Scanning microscopy in which a very sharp probe is employed in close proximity to
a surface, exploiting a particular surface-related property. When this property is
local topography, the method is atomic force microscopy (MICROSCOPY, ATOMIC FORCE),
and when it is local conductivity, the method is scanning tunneling microscopy (MICROSCOPY,
SCANNING TUNNELING).;
