The correct answer is **electron microscope**.
Advancements in electron microscopy have allowed scientists to observe materials at the atomic level, enabling new discoveries in fields such as materials science, nanotechnology, and biology. Unlike light microscopes, which are limited by the wavelength of visible light, electron microscopes use electron beams to achieve much higher resolutions.
