For a point y∈Y with residue field κ(y), the scheme-theoretic fibre is the base change of a morphism of schemes
Xy​=X×Y​Specκ(y).​
(1)
The map Specκ(y)→Y is the canonical point map. This fibre product of schemes retains the structure sheaf, including any nilpotents, rather than just the set f−1(y). For an affine scheme map induced by A→B, at p∈SpecA it is
Xp​=Spec(B⊗A​κ(p)).
