Electron microscopes allow an unmatched insight into smallest structures. Regarding the image resolution, they outcompete light microscopes by a factor of more than 1000. They do so by using a beam of electrons instead of light rays to probe the samples.

Clapping your hands generates sound. At concerts and in big stadiums, even huge crowds easily synchronize their applause to a repetitive timed beat. Their clapping is coherent. Single excited atoms can also show coherence.

Stefan Richter published on “Imaging Trapped Ion Structures via Fluorescence Cross-Correlation Detection”. This highly sensitive technique yields structural information of the arrangement of single photon sources where direct imaging techniques fail. Examples of single photon sources are color cente...
