Seeing With Electrons, Not Photons

The smallest thing you can see with a microscope is partially determined by the light that shines through it. An ordinary light-based microscope uses photons of light, which are equivalent to waves with a wavelength of roughly 400-700 nanometers. 

However, if you want to see detailed things that are "smaller than light" you need to use particles that have an even shorter wavelength than photons; therefore, you need to use electrons. Electrons are minute charged particles that occupy the outer regions of atoms. They have an equivalent wavelength of just over 1 nanometer, which allows us to see even the smallest of things.
