Shake nanotechnical microscope now comes quantum microscope
Scanning tunneling microscope (STM) (Image I) is a very thin stylus, where is one atom in the head of that tool, and it works basically like the record player, which stylus transforms the curves of the analog record to the sound. A scanning tunneling microscope is hovering ion above the layer, and that makes this system extremely high accurate tool for the researchers. The key thing in this system is the stylus, what is scanning the layer.
But the extremely thin stylus can also be acting as the radio antenna, and if this kind of antenna could be made by using neutrons by connecting the poles of that particle in one structure. That kind of neutron stylus could make possible to make the radio signal, which can pass the electron layer and hits straight in the nucleus of the atom, without affecting the electrons.

If we would want to make the experiments, where the radio wave would point only the nucleus of the atoms, we must create a tool, what is smaller than an atom, and that means that the stylus, what is targeting the radiation to the nucleus must be created by using the sub-atomic particles. Or another way would be connecting the protons or hydrogen ions to helium or deuterium ions, and that means that the creation of this kind of system would be extremely difficult. The stylus could be easy to make by using metal like iron or carbon atoms, but the stylus should be smaller than atoms that are under the research.
In this hypothetical model, the system can be made by using neutrons or even quarks. This thing is really difficult to produce, But if we could create the stylus, which is smaller than an atom, this would bring revolution to the material research and physics. The name of the hypothetical machine is the scanning quantum microscope. It allows seeing things, what is happening in the atoms. So what if we could create the stylus, where the single electron would ride across the layer? That thing allows scanning the internal structures of the atoms.
And the most fascinating thing is the hypothetical possibility to make the quantum microscope. In this version, the edge of this stylus is the neutron, and the thing, that hovers above layer would allow the first time to see the neutrons and protons. This theoretical thing is called the quark or quantum microscope, and if that kind of system could be someday
