Electron Microscopes Used to View Individual Electron Orbitals within an Atom

It is not possible for an electron microscope to take a photo like a mobile phone camera. An electron microscope’s ability to image a structure, and the success of the imaging will depend on the researcher’s understanding of the structure. In most cases, complex physics calculations are required to make complete use of the electron microscopy’s potential.
