New Electron Microscopy Tech Breaks into the Elusive Realm of Small Molecules

A central column of metallic, cylindrical lenses and optical components is arranged diagonally, through which a light blue cone of light passes, projecting onto a rectangular detector plate at the bottom. A bright, neon-purple laser beam intersects the middle of the column, causing a glowing orange wave at the intersection. The setup is set against a dark purple background patterned with faint ripples small, repeating blue and red protein-like structures.
