Gerd Binning invents the atomic force microscope. 

German physicist Gerd Binning and Swiss physicist Heinrich Rohrer, colleagues at IBM Zurich Research Laboratory, invented the scanning tunneling microscope in 1981. The two scientists were awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1986 for their invention. 

In 1981, Gerd Binning and Heinrich Rohrer, two researchers at IBM in Zurich, Switzerland, invented the scanning tunneling microscope (STM). They shared the 1986 Nobel Prize in Physics (with Ernst Ruska, inventor in 1933 of the electron microscope) for this invention, which is rapidly changing the way chemists think about atoms. The STM probes surfaces with a tungsten needle that is at most a few atoms wide. At very short distances, electrons tunnel from the... 

Nobel prize for Physics Gerd Binning and Heinrich Rohrer, for their design of the scanning tunneling microscope Ernst Ruska, for his fundamental work in electron optics, and for the design of the first electron microscope.
