Abstract
The elucidation of the atomic structure of solids is a major goal of high-resolution transmission electron microscopy. The attainable resolution of all imaging microscopes is determined by the wavelength of the radiation employed (e.g. light, sound, charged particles) and the defects of the image-forming lenses. The resolution of microscopes that do not use lenses, such as the scanning tunneling microscope or the atomic force microscope, is not limited by diffraction. Unfortunately, these microscopes can only image the surface of the sample whereas detailed information about the atomic bulk structure is necessary for elucidating the properties of real solid objects.
