Microscopes have allowed scientists to view organisams no visible to the naked eye. By doing so we have learned about diseases, cures, and causes.

There are no pictures of the atom, I believe. Early scientists used illustrations (one known as the 'plum pudding' if I'm not wrong...) in which, well, you have a pudding and plums :) the plums represented electrons which the scientists thought were 'embedded' in the nucleus.\nThe present atom is also an illustration .......try these:\n\nhttp://religion-cults.com/metanoia/atom-0x.jpg\nhttp://www.highergrades.com/graphics/atom.jpg\nhttp://www.raptor007.com/images/DesktopPictures/Misc/Raptor007-Atom-1600bicubic.jpg\nhttp://home.iitk.ac.in/~sreerup/bso203/PlumPudding.gif\nhttp://images.search.yahoo.com/search/images?p=plum+pudding+model&rs=0&ei=UTF-8&fr=ks-ans&vf=

Here's a great website with pictures of the various nobel gases in lamps so you can see their glows and describe them yourself.\n\nhttp://www.assumption.edu/users/bniece/Spectra/Complete.html

I didn't know the answer to this one myself, so I looked it up, wow, I can't write it all down here sorry.  But here are some sights I was able to pull up, hopefully you can find the info you would like here.  :)  Basically from what I have gathered though, they are broken down into four groups, compound, dissection, scanning electron, and transmission electron.  The last source I listed, has a guide to help you pick the right microscope for you if you are looking to buy one.  I'm not sure if any of this will help, but I hope it will.

We've actually run experiments that EXCEEDED the speed of light - which means the observer detected a particle before it left the emitter.  Wish I still had the link to give you.\n\nWeird science.  But real.

Optical Spectrum Analyzer (OSA) is probably what you're looking for...nice for discovering chemical composition of light source and probably a zillion other different things.

A more generic term for the components of an atom is "sub-atomic particles."  I think that's the answer you're looking for.

C\n\nThe ribosomes are far to small to see with a ligh microscope. Under an electron microscope, they look like tiny dots (of whatever color you stained them).\n\nAlso, you won't be able to make out the details of the cell membrane either, only that it exists.

electron microscope\nn.\nAny of a class of microscopes that use electrons rather than visible light to produce magnified images, especially of objects having dimensions smaller than the wavelengths of visible light, with linear magnification approaching or exceeding a million (10 to th power 6).\n\nA device that uses electrons instead of light to form images of very small objects, such as individual parts of small living things. \n\na microscope that is similar in purpose to a light microscope but achieves much greater resolving power by using a parallel beam of electrons to illuminate the object instead of a beam of light\n\nThe electron microscope is a microscope that can magnify very small details with high resolving power due to the use of electrons as the source of illumination, magnifying at levels up to 2,000,000 times. \n\nHistory \nThe first electron microscope was built by the German physicist Ernst Ruska. He knew that electrons possess a wave aspect, so he believed he could treat them in a fashion similar to light waves. Ruska was also aware that magnetic fields could manipulate electrons, possibly focusing them as optical lenses do to light. After confirming these principles through research, he set out to design an electron microscope. Ruska had deduced that an electron microscope would be much more powerful than an ordinary optical microscope, because he knew that magnification increased with shorter wavelengths. Since electron waves were shorter than ordinary light waves, it followed that they would allow for greater magnification. In 1933 Ruska and a collaborator, German physicist Max Knoll, under whom he obtained his doctorate, built the first crude electron microscope. Despite the fact that it was primitive and not fit for practical use, the instrument was still capable of magnifying objects 400 times. Ruska was later awarded the Nobel Prize in 1986 for its invention. \n\nThe first practical electron microscope was built by Eli Franklin Burton and students, Cecil Hall, James Hillier and Albert Prebus, at the University of Toronto, Canada in 1938. \n\nAlthough modern electron microscopes can magnify an object 2 million times, they are still based upon Ruska's prototype and his correlation between wavelength and magnification. The electron microscope is an integral part of many laboratories. Researchers use it to examine biological materials (such as microorganisms and cells), a variety of large molecules, medical biopsy samples, metals and crystalline structures, and the characteristics of various surfaces. \n\nTypes \nElectron beam micmroscopes \nTransmission Electron Microscope (TEM) \nThe Transmission Electron Microscope (TEM) involves a high voltage electron beam emitted by a cathode and formed by magnetic lenses. The electron beam that has been partially transmitted through the very thin (and so semitransparent for electrons) specimen carries information about the inner structure of the specimen. The spatial variation in this information (the "image") is then magnified by a series of magnetic lenses until it is recorded by hitting a fluorescent screen, photographic plate, or light sensitive sensor such as a CCD (charge-coupled device) camera. The image detected by the CCD may be displayed in real time on a monitor or computer. \n\nResolution of the high-resolution TEM (HRTEM) is limited by spherical and chromatic aberration, but a new generation of aberration correctors has been able to overcome spherical aberration. Software correction of spherical aberration has allowed the production of images with sufficient resolution to show carbon atoms in diamond separated by only 0.89 ångström (89 picometers) and atoms in silicon at 0.78 ångström (78 picometers) at magnifications of 50 million times. The ability to determine the positions of atoms within materials has made the HRTEM an indispensable tool for nano-technologies research and development in many fields, including heterogeneous catal

Atoms have a nucleus ( composed of protons and neutrons) and a cloud of electrons. The number of the different components varies between different elements.\n\nElectrons can only have specific energy levels in an atom - that is the energy is not continious but quantized. This is different from, say, the solar system, because a planet could theoretically be in any orbit. But we know from quantum mechanics (and many, many experiments) that electons can only occupy certain "orbits."\n\nSometimes an electron can be bumped into a higher orbit (the higher orbits have less energy, because they are not as tightly bound) or kicked out of the atom altogether. If a second electron moves into the spot it will release energy as it falls into that level.\n\nHydrogen is the easiest element to study. The nucleus is a single proton, and it can have only one electron. The different energy levels can be illustrated like this:\nhttp://hyperphysics.phy-astr.gsu.edu/hbase/hyde.html#c2\n(though in reality electrons don't travel on nice orbits)\n\nIf an electron in the second lowest level does a "quantum leap" to the very lowest, it will emit energy - light - at a very specific frequency. In this case 656 nanometers, which is red. If, on the other hand, an electron falls from the 3rd level down to the 1st level the emitted light is blue.\n\nA "spectrum" will show all of these distinct levels, with the brighter ones being the most common. This shows the spectrum of hydrogen with a diagram of the quantum leaps:\nhttp://hyperphysics.phy-astr.gsu.edu/hbase/hyde.html#c4\n\nIn other atoms it becomes more complex, not every jump is allowed, and in the precense of a magnetic field a "fine structure" is seen in the spectrum, as some of the main lines look double.\n\nThe result of all of this is that each different atom will give a different characteristic spectrum. So, you can use this to identify different elements in anything from crime scene samples to distant galaxies.

Because (most) cell organelles are too little. Light microscope uses light (obviously, i know), which means it uses photons. You can see photons as corpuscules or as wavelengths, in either case they're too big for an organelle. Light pases them through not beeing modified by them, making them undetectable.\nElectronic microscope, on the other hand, uses a beam of electrons instead of light. Electrons are little enough (or have a wavelenght small enogh) to "bounce" on oganelles so it's flow can be modified by them to a detectable degree. \n\nIt's like taking a picture of a person that stands 5 meters from you. If you take it at 1,2 Megapixel you will be able to see his facial features clearly when you zoom in the image on your computer. But if you wanted to see a little mole under his nose, the camara will probably not have noted that and you won´t find it when zooming.\nIf you switch to 10 MegPIXEL, when you zoom in on your computer, you'll probably see the mole clearly.\n\nIt's esentially the same process: You need more resolution. The difference is that to see structures so litlle as organelles you need to change the physical nature of the "light" you´re using, because normal light just won´t give enough resolution.
