1 Electron microscopes make it possible to view objects as small as the diameter of an atom. 2  1981 â Gerd Binnig and Heinrich Rohrer invented the scanning tunneling microscope that gives three-dimensional images of objects down to the atomic level.3  Binnig and Rohrer won the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1986. 1981 â Gerd Binnig and Heinrich Rohrer invented the scanning tunneling microscope that gives three-dimensional images of objects down to the atomic level. 2  Binnig and Rohrer won the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1986.
