Ernst Ruska quotes

Ernst Ruska was a German physicist, renowned for inventing the electron microscope. This groundbreaking invention allowed scientists to study structures at an atomic level for the first time. He made significant contributions to microscopy and was awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics. Here are 2 of his quotes:

In electron microscopy, the difficulties took considerably more time to surmount, and therefore the doubters held the field for a longer period. I can, however, also confirm from my own experience the observation of my colleagues that the doubt of the others has the advantage of leaving the field uncrowded. Mostly, this is understood only much later, in the beginning one is very disappointed. (Ernst Ruska)

The light microscope opened the first gate to microcosm. The electron microscope opened the second gate to microcosm. What will we find opening the third gate?
