Summary

The images show scanning electron microscope images of 1: an ant 'looking' on a microchip, 2: cantilevers on a microchip touch a carbon nanotube substrate 3: closeup of carbon nanotubes electron beam deposition welded to the microscantilevers; and Transmission electron micrscope images of 4: a multiwalled carbon nanotube actually suspended between two microcantilevers 5: closeup of shell structure of the carbon nanotube.

Below are bars indicating the typical ranges for microscope observation with various instruments.
