Radiation damage prevents the ability to obtain images from individual molecules. We suggest that this problem can be avoided for organic molecules by placing them in close proximity with a metallic surface. The molecules will then quickly dissipate any electronic excitation via their coupling to the metal surface. They may therefore be observed for a number of elastic scattering events that is sufficient to determine their structure.
