It’s a nice picture for sure but I just can’t go with the ‘this is a photo of an atom’ explanation. To me it’s the light given off by an atom when it’s bombarded with energy so we are seeing a lot of light particles. There’s just no way an atom is that big! The distance between the two points is about 2mm, so huge on the atomic scale. If it were 2nm I might be more convinced.
