Since early times, the collective understanding of our microscopic universe has been directly tied to the quality of our microscopies. This has been true from the advent of light microscopes through to modern electron microscopes. Indeed, if one is to work on a given scale, one must be able to “see” at that scale. At the beginning of the 21st century, human inquiry is focused on the atomic scale.
