Time For Some Mind Blowing
A bee, sputter coated in gold for use in a scanning electron microscope. From Wiki-
"Conductive coating – an ultrathin coating of electrically
conducting material, deposited either by high vacuum evaporation or by
low vacuum sputter coating of the sample. This is done to prevent the
accumulation of static electric fields at the specimen due to the
electron irradiation required during imaging. The coating materials
include gold, gold/palladium, platinum, tungsten, graphite, etc".
The first human to turn insects into precious objects was Daedalus.

Ernst August Friederich Ruska 1906 - 1988
Credited with the invention of the electron microscope, he built the first one in 1933. Nobel Prize in Physics, 1988.
But-

' Several scientists worked simultaneously
on the electron microscope in the early 1930's, and the race for
recognition was close. Rheinhold Ruedenberg, another German, actually
filed a patent application in Germany 10 days before Dr. Ruska presented
a technical paper on the subject. Dr. Ruska was a graduate student at
the time.
Dr. Ruedenberg, who was
Jewish, was denied a patent by German authorities. As Nazi persecution
intensified, he fled to the United States. Later, RCA claimed that its
scientists had invented the electron microscope, but Dr. Ruedenberg sued
the company and was eventually granted the United States patent for the
invention'. From the New York Times obituary.
