Basically the Noon Sakinah is a Noon (ن) devoid of any vowels; namely the Kasra (كسرة), fatha (فتحة), and dammah (ضمة). In the Quran, the noon Sakinah can be depicted with a Sukoon (سكون) above it or without anything above it at all like this (ن). It is important to note that both have the same pronunciation and are called Noon Sakinah. But the tanween is an extra Noon Sakinah used with the Kasra (كسرة), fatha (فتحة), and dammah (ضمة).
