A micron is as big as a football field when you have to hold less than 300 nanometers....

And nanometers are pretty big when your only concerned about a very few atoms! Good thing TEMs (transmission electron microscope) have that kind of resolution or it would be really difficult to keep up with "Moore's Law" (and I would be out of a job)


TEM used to be my job. Not so much now.
