Methods of Using Tools Not "Naturally" Patentable

The optical telescope is a tool.

It allows one to see what the human eyes alone cannot "naturally" see.

The atomic force microscope (AFM) is a tool.

It allows one to see (to gather information about) what the human eyes alone cannot "naturally" see.

But gathering "information" about things in "nature" is verboten according to the newly emerging "laws of nature" doctrine. Naturally of course.
