Yes. German engineers Ernst Ruska and Max Knoll built the first machine in 1931 in Germany. It didn't outperform the best optical microscopes, but it served to demonstrate the ideas. A couple of years later, Ernst Ruska (working for Siemens in one of their German locations) built an electron microscope that surpassed the resolution limits of an optical microscope. Wikipedia has a nice article on the history of the electron microscope, and a link is provided to that post. You'll find it below.
