Shedding light on the electron microscope

The electron microscope has changed the way we look at the world of tiny things. Thanks to this invention we have been able to take a close look at blood cells, viruses and even atoms, but how does it work and why can't we just use a light microscope to see these wonders? Ref. Source 1

Seeing atoms and molecules in action with an electron 'eye'

A unique rapid-fire electron source -- originally built as a prototype for driving next-generation X-ray lasers -- will help scientists study ultrafast chemical processes and changes in materials at the atomic scale. Ref. Source 6p.

Scientists set record resolution for drawing at the one-nanometer length scale

Using a specialized electron microscope outfitted with a pattern generator, scientists turned an imaging instrument into a lithography tool that could be used to create and study materials with new properties. Ref. Source 8k.

Nice, you're able to observe basic proteins and the like at that scale. Could be a great asset.

Absolutely incredible. I remember when I was a kid and microscopes were getting to the point where they could see smaller and smaller objects. But I'm not sure we ever dreamed we'd be able to see at this level. I think one day we'll be able to see the spark of life. We always try to look farther out and bigger. Maybe it's all hidden smaller.
