This site mentioned that our most powerful electron microscope falls short of observing, first hand, an atom's electron orbitals. However, in the early 12th century, I bet no one thought we'd ever be able to view DNA, but technology changed and alas, we can now! I'm sure it's only a matter of time before we get to see all those orbitals in actuality.
An interesting correlation: Some strains of bacteria use a polysaccharide outer layer as a protective shield. I've been reading a lot lately about how many polysaccharides (complex carbs such as grains and potatoes) can be extremely difficult for the intestines to break down and properly digest. Makes sense!
I definitely appreciate all the pictures!
