Re: BE ALERT to short sharp stabbing pains in head!! Lucky, The reason they are suggesting an mri is for 2 reasons. The first being mris are alot more detailed than cat scans and can show things that cat scans cannot. Second they do it to cover their butts.
Quick Answer. Physicist Ernst Ruska and German engineer Max Knoll are credited with creating the first electron microscope in 1932. It permitted researchers greater magnification and resolution than traditional light microscopes.
The electron was first discovered in 1898 by Sir John Joseph Thomson. Almost 100 years ago J.J. Thomson was at Cavendish Laboratory at Cambridge University. Thomson was investigating 'Cathode Rays' which had been a puzzle for a long time.
