1950 RCA Tabletop Electron Microscope

Check out this beautiful example of Atomic Age design from RCA. This microscope was marketed as an affordable alternative to a typical Scanning Electron Microscope. "So simplified is the new instrument that a high school student or unskilled laboratory technician can quickly learn to use it!"
This is the cover from a twelve page brochure detailing the features of the RCA EMT Tabletop. The advertisement boasts a maximum magnification of 6,000x. Today's SEMs are capable of magnifications beyond 100,000x.
