The image at left is taken with a transmission electron microscope (TEM). It uses electrons instead of light, precisely to achieve much higher resolution than one can get with an optical microscope.
Electron microscopes require high vacuum and thus cannot be used for whole objects like a book.
On the other hand, optical microscopes can get much higher resolution than that of the McCrone report micrographs. But that comes at the cost of the size of the viewed area. The best resolution depends on the goals...
