Nanotechnology for All - Seeing Nano Objects - Microscopy (Talk 2)

I want to look at the methods for studying nano objects - an essential part of the process before we can use nanotechnology for manufacturing useful devices.  How microscopy has developed over the past centuries is a fascinating example of paradigm shift.  New physics principles have made possible studies of ever smaller structures; now we can observe individual atoms in molecules - a truly marvelous achievement.
