which microscope uses a probe to map atoms on the surface of a specimen?\no transmission electron microscope\no compound light microscope\no scanning electron microscope\no scanning tunneling microscope
Answer
# Brief Explanations:
A scanning - tunneling microscope uses a probe to map atoms on a specimen's surface. It works based on the quantum - mechanical phenomenon of tunneling. Transmission electron microscopes pass electrons through a specimen, compound light microscopes use light for magnification, and scanning electron microscopes scan a specimen with a focused electron beam but not in the same atom - mapping way as scanning tunneling microscopes.
# Answer:
scanning tunneling microscope
