How could we build a microscope with a higher resolution?

a) Use electromagnetic waves with shorter wave lengths than visible light and use a sensor to produce a picture
b) We could drag a tiny needle over the surface of our sample and record the position of the needle to record the surface structure
c) Electrons have also wave-like properties; we can use magnets instead of lenses and bombard the sample with electrons instead of light
d) All of these answers are good ideas for a high-resolution microscope
