scanning electron microscope

scan·ning electron microscope

(skăn′ĭng)n. An electron microscope that forms a three-dimensional image on a cathode-ray tube by moving a beam of focused electrons across an object and reading both the electrons scattered by the object and the secondary electrons produced by it.

scan·ning electron microscope

(skăn′ĭng) An electron microscope that moves a beam of electrons across an object and creates a three-dimensional image from both the electrons scattered by the object and the electrons knocked loose from the object.

scan·ning e·lec·tron mi·cro·scope

a microscope in which the object in a vacuum is scanned in a raster pattern by a slender electron beam, generating reflected and secondary electrons from the specimen surface that are used to modulate the image on a synchronously scanned cathode ray tube; with this method a three-dimensional image is obtained, with both high resolution and great depth of focus.
