...considered as waves as well as particles. A microscope using visible illumination is limited in magnifying power by the wave length of light. Particles considerably smaller than the wave length escape detection because they slip through the meshes of the light waves like BB shot through a tennis net. But electrons have wave lengths 100,000 times smaller than those of light, and electrons, although they cannot be focused by a lens, can be focused by electric or magnetic fields which act on the electron beam as a lens does on light...
