Notes
- 1.
Nowadays, electron tomography gives the structural and elemental information of an object in three dimensions as (x, y, z) (see Sect. 8.3).
- 2.
Recently, optical microscopes using a light emission from molecules has realized the point-to-point resolution less than 100 nm, which is smaller than the wavelength.
