Background Information:
• The prefix “nano” derives from the Greek word for “dwarf.”
• It is the study of objects belonging to the nano-scale.
▫ (10ˉ⁹)
• The idea was first brought up in 1959.

Scanning Electron Microscope:
• Uses a beam of electrons to create an image.
• Voltage affects the resolution.
• If the surface gets charged, a bad image will be obtained.
