The field of microscopy was truly revolutionized by the development of electron microscopy in the 1930s, resulting in the first commercial products at the end of that decade. Prior to this revolution, optical microscopy had developed to the point that instruments were running into theoretical limitations of spatial resolution. Features smaller than the wavelengths of […]
