Can You Guess What This Microscope Image Is?
This is a super close-up image of something you might have eaten. Can you guess it?
These images show detail smaller than the wavelength of visible light - which means they’re too small to be taken with a normal microscope.
Instead, if you fire a beam of electrons at something and measure how they get either reflected or transmitted… you can see WAY more detail. It’s called an electron microscope. If you like optimistic science and tech stories, subscribe for more from our show Huge If True…
