How does resolution impact nanotechnology research?
Resolution is a critical factor because it determines the smallest distance at which two points can be distinctly observed. In nanotechnology, achieving high resolution is essential for visualizing individual nanoparticles, molecules, or atomic structures. Instruments like Transmission Electron Microscopes (TEM) and Scanning Tunneling Microscopes (STM) offer high resolution but come with their own limitations, such as sample preparation difficulties and high operational costs.
