asapscience:Using long exposure on his camera, PhD candidate David Nadlinger took a photo of an atom illuminated by a laser, while it was suspended in the air by two electrodes. (For a sense of scale, the two electrodes on either side of the atom are 2mm apart). The reason why you’re able to see the atom is because it absorbed and re-emitting the light particles that the laser projected. (David Nadlinger/University of Oxford/EPSRC) -- source link
