Amazing! First ever photograph inside a hydrogen atom | Fox News:
There is a problem with this photo. The electron is not a particle and neither is it a wave. It merely behaves as both simultaneously. The electron's actual structure is characterized by the unit of angular momentum. The photo represents the assumptions of the scientists and not an actual image of an atom. The photo is a computer generated image based upon interpretations of interference patterns. If the interpretation assumptions are changed, then the photo will change, too.
