ANSWER: Helium Microscope
 
  • The first scanning helium microscope has been built by Australian researchers who feel it could “open doors” for many new discoveries by allowing scientists to scrutinise materials without disturbing them.
  • The new device would enable scientists to study human, animal and plant samples, as well as computer chips and pharmaceutical drugs, without damaging or changing them.
  • Samples would be analysed in their true state for the first time ever and every time a new microscope was developed, there had been enormous scientific advances.
