New Microscope Shows the Quantum World in Crazy Detail
The transmission electron microscope was designed to break records. Using its beam of electrons, scientists have glimpsed many types of viruses for the first time. They\u2019ve used it to study parts of biological cells like ribosomes and mitochondria. You can see individual atoms with it. But experts have recently unlocked new potential for the machine. \u201cIt\u2019s been a very dramatic and sudden shift,\u201d says physicist David Muller of Cornell University.
