You'd need an electron microscope, which is super expensive. That's convenient, isn't it? Quoting: Anonymous Coward 78240704 If you have electronic engineering experience you can build an electron microscope for about 1k and 1000 man hours. There are walkthroughs on the web. I could, but since I have no prior experience with such a microscope, it would be hard for me to gauge the quality of the images and the overall construction. Maybe there's some standard way to calibrate the things? |
