is that electron microscopy is advanced as a result of better detectors, better algorithms, faster detectors so that they can freeze the movement of particles while they're collecting the image. And that means that you can get high resolution atomic level images without using crystallography. So you don't even need crystals, which is what you needed for x-rays. And that was a big bottleneck.
