Atomic Images by Electron-Wave Holography

Abstract
Direct views of electron clouds in atoms h-ave been observed visually and photographed by means of a two-stage holographic miscroscope based on Gabor's principle of image reconstruction. Holograms are produced with 40-kilo-volt electron radiation and decoded with an optical laser. The obviation of an objective lens makes feasible a numerical aperture of 0.37 and a resolving power exceeding 0.1 angstrom.
