Not M's best work in my opinion. Ask the talk of particles being in two places at once and the idea of superposition (as alluded to by Schrodingers cat), had me thinking the words had to be superimposed in some way, or words with common letters had to be combined in some way. Picking out the letter that occurs twice in a word doesn't have the same feel as when considering something that is in two places at once

I'm definitely not the sharpest knife in the drawer, but I got lucky. 15 minutes. First thing I noticed was the pair of letters in each word, then the 1-10 on the number of dots.

so close, i noticed the double letters and tried manipulating them with the number of dots in every conceivable way but for the ones with two rings, i was treating the number of dots in the two rings as separate entities, rather than simply adding them together

This was a lot simpler then the way I overthought it for the first hour. Lol.
Good use of “story” to provide a clue - that through me off a little.

The only one so far I needed all 3 hints for. I kept thinking the dots which orbit the word were the subatomic particles, so I tried focusing on the duplicity of those dots, rather than the letters. I did realize the 1-10 order, but couldn't figure how to convert each word as a letter.

Looking back now, the title does give a good hint. Put those images under a microscope to make sure you're not seeing double

My experience was very similar to this. I thought I needed to form 5 pairs. The fact that the pairs always seemed so close (e.g. 5 atoms with 1 ring and 5 with 2) didn’t help.

I went the wrong way with this one for days, longest its taken me so far. I thought it was going to be a five letter word because if you make each word have a pair based on its valence shells, there is only one feasible arrangement [(1,6),(2,7),(5,8),(3,9),4,10)]. So then I tried to find a relationship between each pair of words for awhile. That was the hardest one for me so far by a lot, but I think its cause I was so focused on the pairing and couldn't leave it alone.

maybe because M wrote the book?

In general, along with the number 13 which just so happens to be the alphanumeric value of M and the Middle letter of the alphabet
