Extended limits of knowledge

Kant described that the limits of knowledge are what we can be as humans- waht we can perceive, to be that knowledge. This is limited. In his time the microscope was developed and large telescopes had been built augmenting our perception and enhancing it. This is going to improve more in the future and already is in the modern day with cyber sight for humans, prosthesises and spectroscopy.
Quantum theory takes as on a new avenue still where we have knowledge of things that we can perhaps never perceive and that do not have any similar representation in what we normally perceive.
