Researchers in the United States have developed a new technology that improves electron microscopes. The system uses lasers to help the microscope work better. It can provide around 10,000 times more magnification than standard microscopes. With this method, molecule and cell structures can be seen much more clearly. The development could make very small details easier to study.
