Several techniques are employed to improve resolution in nanotechnology, including:
Electron Microscopy: Techniques such as Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) and Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM) offer high-resolution imaging by using electrons instead of light. Scanning Probe Microscopy: Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM) and Scanning Tunneling Microscopy (STM) provide high-resolution surface imaging by scanning a probe over the sample. Super-Resolution Microscopy: Techniques like STED (Stimulated Emission Depletion) and PALM (Photo-Activated Localization Microscopy) break the diffraction limit of light to achieve higher resolutions.
