Yes the word "accurate" is not necessarily appropriate when
you're observing things not visible to the naked eye, yet it
can be important for astronomers, so why not for
microscopists and nanoscopists.. But there could be a new
world of art based on nanoscopy, if that's a word, as seems
exhibited by these new images; nanometric films shot of
molecular or atomic processes.. though I think by definition
anything at the quantum level would be unobtainable.

When a colorist works with images as art, the rules of
accuracy fly out the window, if you get the innuendo.
