Here is an electron micrograph taken with a Transmission Electron Microscope. The magnification is over 1,000,000 X or over 1,000,000 time the real size of the area shown. The image shows Silicon lattice or the organization of the Silicon atoms that make up the lattice of the material that is use to make semiconductor devices
