strioscopyn.
/strʌɪˈɒskəpi/ Physics.
A form of electron microscopy in which the beam is focused on to the specimen as a hollow cone of particles, giving a bright image on a dark field.

1979 J. R. Fryer Chem. Applications Transmission Electron Microsc. ii. 62 Normal dark field technique either tilts the incident beam, or displaces an objective aperture, so that the primary beam does not contribute to the final image, whilst strioscopy physically stops the axial primary beam passing.
