Seeing individual atoms in color is now possible
Until now only black and white images were possible by existing electron microscope to view atoms but now Cornell’s Duffield Hall has acquired a new electron microscope that will enable scientists to see individual atoms in color for the very first time. The new microscope uses a technology called aberration-correction which is more intense and allows for faster imaging speed. So now one can also see how atoms are bonded to one another in a crystal, because the bonding creates small shifts in the energy signatures.
