Electron Microscope Images

"An electron microscope uses a beam of electrons to illuminate a specimen and produce a magnified image. An electron microscope (EM) has greater resolving power than a light-powered optical microscope because electrons have wavelengths about 100,000 times shorter than visible light (photons). They can achieve better than 50 pm resolution and magnifications of up to about 10,000,000x" -- http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electron_microscope
