Scope note: Uso de instrumentos y técnicas para visualizar material y detalles que no pueden ser vistos por el ojo sin ayuda. Normalmente se hace agrandando imágenes transmitidas por luz o haces de electrones, con lentes ópticas o magnéticas que aumentan todo el campo de la imagen. Con la microscopía de barrido, las imágenes son generadas juntando las emisiones de la muestra en un modo punto a punto, en una escala ampliada, a medida que la muestra es barrida por un estrecho haz de luz o electrones, un láser, una sonda conductora o una sonda topográfica.

Scope note: The use of instrumentation and techniques for visualizing material and details that cannot be seen by the unaided eye. It is usually done by enlarging images, transmitted by light or electron beams, with optical or magnetic lenses that magnify the entire image field. With scanning microscopy, images are generated by collecting output from the specimen in a point-by-point fashion, on a magnified scale, as it is scanned by a narrow beam of light or electrons, a laser, a conductive probe, or a topographical probe.
