Definitions:

Synthesize

To combine components or elements to form a coherent entity, often used in scientific and industrial contexts.

Scanning Electron Microscope

A type of microscope that uses electrons instead of light to form an image of the sample, providing detailed three-dimensional images at high magnifications.

Transmission Electron Microscope

A type of microscope that uses a beam of electrons to create an image of the specimen, allowing for very high-resolution imaging of the internal structure of cells and molecules.

3D Image

A visual representation that provides the perception of depth, creating the illusion of three-dimensional space on a two-dimensional surface.
