How small can you see? And how does tech help us see as small as individual atoms?
The smallest YOU can see with your eyes is roughly ten thousand times smaller than a meter. Things much smaller than that don’t reflect enough light for our eyes to register. So, people invented the optical microscope, which let us see things down to ten millionths of a meter by shining light and using lenses magnify the image. But past that, objects get smaller than the wavelength of visible light. So we need something even smaller to take a picture, like firing beams of electrons and measuring how they get reflected or transmitted.
There’s SO MUCH of the world that we can’t see with our eyes but we can see with technology!

First of all tell me that why do you have a fake smile on your face just for the sake of a video ???
I use to be able to read the line that you sign on a check that is in fact not a "line" in the traditional sense, but a line of text that generally says " originaldocumentoriginaldocument……."
A question I ask all my lovers.
,sorry yes off topic did someone tell you that you are cute
(人 •͈ᴗ•͈)

She combines the looks of Nathalie Portman with the vibes of a teenage nerd😂
"smart people" just say scientists cleo😭✌️
What about the quarks
Quarks? Can we view them too?
I love you❤from South Africa ❤
I like you <3
Wow 😮😮😮
Dance atom dance!
I feel dumb, but: I thought we could see individual atoms with the most powerful light microscopes, but that it took electron microscopes to see the proton/neutron nucleus and electron shell. This seems to be saying it takes an electron microscope just to see an atom?
I'm working in an engineering company where we build ultra high precision machines for the car industry and I've seen a gear wobbling by 2 micrometers! (we have measuring machines that can measure 8 digits behind 0!!! Even whispering detects the machine!!!)
Are my eyes like a microscope??? 🤔
I was wondering this the other day. What a coincidence lol
Wonderful!
They are dancing while we are dying
Yawn
“Quantum” HOLY GD REFERENCE
It looks like a small ball of magnet
Yes, amazing. So are you, and I hope you continue your fun reporting about science for a very long time.
I feel like the universe is just as big as atoms are small.(compared to our perception)
Now what was it 'Fraser' said about electron microscopes 🙂
Well take it with a grain of salt.
But the earth is flat
Ima send this to her RN, I said all you need to see it is some glasses
The atoms look like waves.
Atomic numbers ……sound so good
Beautiful top .. cool video ..
I actually think I can see molecules because one time I was looking at my eyelashes in the sun because I wanted to see how my eyelashes looks because I was thinking about like random things, and then I kept seeing like a white background in it and these tiny little things that were circular in the filling around
We can see photons tho
I saw your ear before gta six
So they basically put a flashlight on it. That's awesome😊😊
i am ganna buy a microscope and use binoculars and i am ganna see more
Snow crystals also hexagonal ?
Nothing is smaller than my will to live
I can see the pixels of My phone just by looking closely
Yay,tiny stuff and over excited people who talk way too much.
I can see 10 micrometer
Question: Since atoms are smaller than the wavelength of light, does that mean they—and everything else at the quantum level—exist in perpetual darkness?
Ay that atom stickman got a little bit of dancing
That's why I love aliens 👾😂
And what built an atom, must be smaller that the atom it self.

हरे कृष्ण
Didn't Einstein prove atoms exist?
Amazing 👏. Can you see a nuetrino? What is Plank length?
Can you explain a lithograph machine that makes transistors at the Picometer size?
What is quantum entanglement?
