  "term": "Scanning technique",
  "field": "Chemistry",
  "definition": "A general experimental approach where a physical quantity or spatial position is systematically varied to probe a sample or system. This allows for the collection of data across a range of conditions or locations. Examples include scanning electron microscopy and scanning probe microscopy, which generate images by moving a probe across a surface.",
