Life, the Universe, and the Electron

Explore the electron and the discovery of the electron at this site. The first section of the exhibit explains the current understanding of the electron. In the section on the discovery of the electron you not only can read about the discovery but also watch a QuickTime movie or do a Shockwave reenactment of the experiment. Learn about how we use electrons to see objects and about earlier machines that have harnessed the properties of the electron. Links to related sites and a bibliography are included.
