Advanced imaging techniques have captured direct pictures of individual molecules confirming predicted geometries
Advanced imaging techniques such as non-contact atomic force microscopy enable the direct visualization of individual molecules and their structural geometries at atomic resolution.
The claim states that advanced imaging techniques have captured direct pictures of individual molecules confirming predicted geometries. Several papers, particularly in the field of scanning probe and atomic force microscopy (such as papers [1], [2], and [5]), describe using advanced non-contact atomic force microscopy to resolve individual molecules and their internal structures at atomic scale. Thus, the evidence strongly supports the claim.
