Ever since the beginning of mankind's efforts to pursue scientific
inquiry into the laws of nature, visualization of the very distant
and the very small has been paramount. The examples are numerous. A
century ago, the atom appeared mysterious, a "raisin or plum pie of
no structure," until it was visualized on the appropriate length
and time scales. Similarly, with telescopic observations, a central
dogma of the cosmos was changed and complexity yielded to
simplicity of the heliocentric structure and motion in our solar
system.For matter, in over a century of developments, major
advances have been made to explore the inner microscopic structures
and dynamics. These advances have benefited many fields of
endeavor, but visualization was incomplete; it was limited either
to the 3D spatial structure or to the 1D temporal evolution.
However, in systems with myriads of atoms, 4D spatiotemporal
visualization is essential for dissecting their complexity. The
biological world is rich with examples, and many molecular diseases
cannot be fully understood without such direct visualization, as,
for example, in the case of Alzheimer's and Parkinson's. The same
is true for phenomena in materials science, chemistry, and
nanoscience.This anthology is an account of the collected works
that have emerged over the past decade from Caltech. Through recent
publications, the volume provides overviews of the principles, the
electron-based techniques, and the applications made. Thanks to
advances in imaging principles and technology, it is now possible
with 4D electron microscopy to reach ten orders of magnitude
improvement in time resolution while simultaneously conserving the
atomic spatial resolution in visualization. This is certainly a
long way from Robert Hooke's microscopy, which was recorded in his
1665 masterpiece Micrographia.
