The kid who used to gaze at the stars in the night sky with a telescope in hand is now using an electron microscope to unravel the mysteries of a world so minuscule that no one has ever seen it before.
At such a small size, this is the atomic level—the smallest unit of matter. And he, as a world first, has succeeded in observing the magnetic field of an atomic plane (lattice plane), a place where atoms are regularly arranged, thus trailblazing a path toward shining light on this unknown world.
"I want to see what cannot be seen." It is with these words that this article deep-dives into the thoughts that motivate Toshiaki Tanigaki, a Hitachi researcher who explores the world of the ultra-microscopic via an electron microscope．
