It looks like a giant coffee maker!

So this is our new PICO instrument, which has been installed about a year ago.

And with its special new corrector for the chromatic aberration, is really a very unique machine which really offers us new possibilities.

I think with its new capabilities, we consider it as the best electron microscope in the world.

Being the best electron microscope in the world, PICO is very sensitive to its surroundings.

Even a person's body heat would disturb it, so PICO has to be operated remotely.

And, safely isolated from humans, PICO is able to unveil the secret world of the very small.

We start our investigations at a very small magnification, which is equivalent to the highest magnification, which you can actually reach with a light microscope.

At this magnification, the diameter of a human hair would be about that size.

And now we can in magnification we can go at least a factor of 1,000 higher.
