Imaging the "anatomy" of a pentacene molecule - 3D rendered view: By using an atomically sharp metal tip terminated with a carbon monoxide molecule, IBM scientists were able to measure in the short-range regime of forces which allowed them to obtain an image of the inner structure of the molecule. The colored surface represents experimental data.

this is the real data generated by the experiment (compare with the molecule above)

I've got a book written in the 1970s (about a year before I was born) where they said one day scientists would finally be able to do stuff like this..
this is the stuff the scientists are looking at..
