Features: Modern microscopy plays the role of "eyes" and "hands" in the research and development of nanotechnology. To date, people are still tirelessly searching for the "sharp eyes" at the nanoscale. The purpose of this manual is to provide a comprehensive reference book summarizing the principles of various microscopies and their applications in this rapidly developing field. The manual consists of 22 topics, each written by scientists from different research fields who are at the forefront of the world. This is the first volume, covering a range of topics including confocal optical microscopy, scanning near-field optical microscopy, various scanning probe microscopies, ion microscopes, etc., with a total of 10 topics. This manual aims to give readers a conceptual understanding of the methods described, rather than just accumulating theories. In each topic, relevant examples and applications are presented and discussed, enabling readers to clearly understand and grasp each microscopic technique. Additionally, the intrinsic connections between chapters are further demonstrated, showing how each technique plays a unique role in comprehensive and complex tests, solving specific problems.
