The document discusses electron tomography, which uses electrons instead of other waves like x-rays or radio waves to generate tomographic images. Electron tomography allows for imaging surfaces at the atomic level with resolutions as small as 0.1 nm and magnifications over 100,000x. Scanning tunneling microscopy is also covered, which uses the quantum tunneling phenomenon of electrons to image surfaces at the atomic scale. Key figures from its development like Binnig and Rohrer are credited for inventing the technique and receiving the Nobel Prize for it. Advantages and challenges of both electron tomography and STM are presented.
