Scanning probe microscopy (SPM) is a type of microscopy that creates images of surfaces by scanning the specimen with a physical probe. It's a device that can image surfaces at the atomic level. Several scanning probe microscopes can image several interactions at the same time. The way these interactions are used to create an image is referred to as a mode.
Materials utilised for energy conversion, energy transmission, and energy storage are referred to as "energy applications." In these disciplines, substantial basic and applied research is undertaken to meet today's and tomorrow's needs. Scanning Probe Microscopy (SPM), with its several operation modes, is currently a key player in this arena.
