1. The moving of an electron beam back and forth and/or up and down by deflecting the beam electromagnetically or electrostatically.
2. A deflection of a beam of electrons, at regular intervals, across a crt screen (display that is electronically created on the surface of the large end of a cathode-ray tube), according to a definite pattern.

“electron scanning”
electron scanning microscope, scanning electron microscope, SEM
An instrument similar to an electron microscope in that a beam of electrons is used to scan the surface of a specimen.
The beam is moved in a point-to-point manner over the surface of the specimen and these electrons are deflected collected, accelerated, and directed against a scintillator.
The large number of photons that are created are converted into an electric signal which, in turn, modulates the beam scanning the surface of the specimen.
