Electron Microscope can reveal the structure of smaller objects because electrons have wavelengths about 100,000 times shorter than visible light photons.
They can achieve magnifications of up to about 10,000,000x whereas ordinary, non-confocal light microscopes are limited by magnifications below 2000x.
Following are shared images of electron microscopy to our amazement..
