Looking at this picture: https://filecache.mediaroom.com/mr5mr_ibmnewsroom/201436/IBM...

I am just astonished at the quality of the structure. Not only that, but the quality of the "cut" to then be able to take this picture. I was closely involved in EM imaging more than 30 years ago, this is just wonderful to see such pictures now.

My mother worked in this field and collaborated with IBM at that time. So yes, this is why I find these pictures even more impressive...
