Crystallographers believed in X-ray results, which are of course very accurate. But the x-rays are limited, and electron microscopy filled the gap, and so the discovery of quasicrystals could have been discovered only by electron microscopy, and the community of crystallographers, for several years, was not willing to listen.

George Emil Palade

In the early 1950s, during the near avalanche of discoveries, rediscoveries, and redefinitions of subcellular components made possible by electron microscopy, those prospecting in this newly opened field were faced with the problem of what to do with their newly acquired wealth.

I got bored with the topic; I felt this was 19th century physics. I was wondering if there was still something profound that could be made with light microscopy. So I saw that the diffraction barrier was the only important problem that had been left over.

When, in 1949, I decided to join the little band of early explorers who had followed Albert Claude in his pioneering expeditions, electron microscopy was still in its infancy.

One thing I liked about being in microscopy is it gets you out of your box constantly because there's such a diverse range of applications.

American Physicist

Microscopy involves sophisticated equipment for scientific study and is not a general-use tool.

Technical Tool

Microscopy reveals details impossible to see with just your eyes, like tiny organisms or cell structures.

Invisible Detail

Microscopy requires precision, often used in science to make critical observations and discoveries.

Scientific Precision

Microscopy is a skill that scientists and researchers develop over time with practice.

Skill Development

Students can specialize in microscopy, making it a career focus for studying microscopic organisms.

Specialization Field

Microscopy is crucial in fields that require detailed observation, like biology or materials science.

 It doesn't have a central nervous system. It doesn't have a brain, yet it can perform behaviors that we associate with brain function. It can learn, it can remember, it can solve problems, it can make decisions. So where does that intelligence lie? So this is a microscopy, a video I shot,

 We find it in every population around the world at all time periods going back tens of thousands of years. And we even find it in neanderthals and animals. And so previous studies had only focused on microscopy. They'd looked at dental calculus under a microscope,

 And in the mid-1900s, electron microscopy further supported this idea by revealing a membrane around each nerve cell keeping it separate from its neighbors. This formed the basis of the “neuron doctrine,”
