Answer:

Scanning electro microscopy

Step-by-step explanation:

"A scanning electron microscope (SEM) scans a focused electron beam over a surface to create an image. The electrons in the beam interact with the sample, producing various signals that can be used to obtain information about the surface topography and composition"
