Characterization dimensions for various methods

what goes primary in & what goes primary out (light, free electrons, atoms, particles; current, voltage, …)
gentleness vs destructiveness to the sample
detection thresholds (e.g. for different elements)
contrast mechanism(s)
direction dependence of contrast (anisotropy)
surface penetration depth
qualitative vs quantitative if latter then methods-for and limits-on calibration (calibratability)
requirements on ambient conditions (e.g. UHV needed? deep cryo needed?)
locality: global average value or imaging if latter then what resolution
real-space or k-space or something else needing computational pre-processing fro interpretability
result interpretability in terms of concrete pysical quantities indirectly measured
