Tree Number(s): E01.370.350.515.402.580.480; E05.595.402.580.480
Unique ID: D017348
RDF Unique Identifier: http://id.nlm.nih.gov/mesh/D017348
Annotation: do not confuse with MICROSCOPY, ELECTRON, SCANNING nor with MICROSCOPY, ELECTRON, TRANSMISSION; since the techniques have different applications, do not interpret: if in doubt, use words of author
Scope Note: A type of TRANSMISSION ELECTRON MICROSCOPY in which the object is examined directly by an extremely narrow electron beam scanning the specimen point-by-point and using the reactions of the electrons that are transmitted through the specimen to create the image. It should not be confused with SCANNING ELECTRON MICROSCOPY.
