I was reading a press release from IBM  about a  technique called Magnetic Resonance Force Microscopy(MRFM).   Through this technique, one could achieve magnetic resonance imaging  (MRI) with a volume resolution 100 million times finer than conventional  MRI which is really impressive. Moreover, the technique could be extremely useful for 3D imaging of small viruses or proteins
There is a video on you tube that explains simply how the system works:
