Abstract

Direct views of electron clouds in atoms have been observed visually and photographed by means of a two-stage holographic microscope based on Gabor's principle of image reconstruction. Holograms are produced with 40-kilovolt 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.
