Don't know where to post this, I hope is in the right place. What's the maximum number of magnifications that a microscope (of any class) has achieved to date? I want concrete ciphers
For example this ETEC Autoprobe http://www.amenex.com/webpage/autprobe.htm
achieves 5000 magnifications, though I'm sure that there are microscopes even more powerful
Updated: The Ergonom500 optical microscope allows more than 10000 magnifications

More updated: this page talks about a scanning electron microscope of approx. 30000 magnifications[o)]

The environmental SEM achieves 50000 magnifications[8)]

A TEM-CCD can achieve 200000 magnifications

The Hitachi S-5000 can achieve 800000 magnifications. Amazing...
