Scanning tunnel microscopy has many advantages. It captures much more detail than other microscopes for better understanding of specimen. They can be used in various mediums like ultra high vacuum, air, water etc. They can work in a range of temperatures.

How large do you think the needle is in the scanning tunneling mircoscope?
Needle in the scanning tunneling microscope is about 10 nanometers.
What does a scanning tunneling microscope allow scientists to see?
The scanning tunneling microscope scans samples using a very fine metallic tip.
You can see atoms using a scanning tunneling microscope?
The needle doesn't actually touch the atoms, but you can their outlines.
What type of microscope do scientists use to see an atom?
Scanning tunneling microscope
What is the maximum magnification of a microscope?
one can make images of atoms using a scanning tunneling mcroscope.

How electron microscopy and scanning tunneling microscopes how contributed to the understanding of atoms?
Electron microscopy and scanning tunneling microscopes gives us a greater understanding of atoms by being able to see the atom itself, and lets us see some atomic reactions.
How large do you think the needle is in the scanning tunneling mircoscope?
Needle in the scanning tunneling microscope is about 10 nanometers.
What are the tools that scientists used to observe atoms?
They could use an electron microscope or an STM (scanning tunneling microscope)
If you buy a microscope for the home what level of detail would one be able to see?
It depends on the power of the microscope an the skill you have in preparing slides.Around 150x, good slide prepartion becomes crucial.a quick search on google reveals many guides to building your own Scanning Tunneling Microscope (STM). If you do attempt such a feat the following books might be helpful;Lewis et al. "Student Scanning Tunneling Microscope" Am. J. Phys, 59(1), 38-42. (1991)Pohl, "Some Design Criteria in Scanning Tunneling Microscopy", IBM J. Res. Dev., 30(4), 417-427, (1986)Binning & Rohrer, "Scanning Tunneling Microscopy" IBM J. Res. Dev., 30(4), 355-369, (1986)Binning & Smith, "Single-Tube Three-Dimensional Scanner for Scanning Tunneling Microscopy", Rev. Sci. Instrum. 57(8), 1688-1689, (1986)Sears et al., "A Scanning Tunneling Microscope for Undergraduate Laboratories", Computers in Physics Jul/Aug, 427-430, (1990)I believe that a home made STM can be made for about $100 and should provide atomic resolution.
Who invented the scanning tunneling microscope?
a scanning tunneling microscope measures electrons that leak, or 'tunnel', fromthe surface of specimen
