In Canada, refugees and welfare bums get free dental care. A dental X-ray is required for proof that the work was done. Since X-rays and the electron microscope use moving electrons, it would seem that they are similar; but it is the differences that are quite striking. The de Broglie relationship is inversely proportional to the velocity.
wavelength = h / mv
We need to consider electron volts and therefore end up with
wavelength = 12.25 * 10 EE -10 / sqrt(V)
If V = 100,000 Volts then the wavelength is 3.88 * EE -12 or 3.7 Pico meters if space-time effects are calculated.
This brief discussion is probably unfamiliar to most people since they don’t have such equipment at home. There has to be a foundation so that all vibrations are damped, the microscope itself costs about a million dollars, exotic technologies are needed to prepare specimen slices in the nano meter range; and of course bureaucrats will be around to milk the cow. Research depends on the ‘generosity’ of the military and pharma industries.
