Small correction: Scanning tunneling microscopes can do that. They are basically a very sharp tip scanned across the surface.
Scanning electron microscopes, where a beam of electrons is rastered across the surface can not (yet?) resolve atoms.
- tullatulla 2y ago* cannot resolve atoms on a surface, in transmission mode (STEM) and with the right sample, as in the article it's another story.
