Summary
| Description |
English: The electron is illuminated from below by light depicted as both photons and waves, with wavefronts shown as blue lines. Photons that enter the microscope deviate from the vertical by an angle less than ε/2, and impart momentum to the electron as they scatter off it. The depiction of the wavefronts inside the microscope is unphysical due to diffraction effects that produce a blurred image and hence uncertainty in position. |

| 15:42, 18 February 2015 |  | 298 × 738 (84 KB) | Guy vandegrift | Another change where I am not 100% certain, but I don't think the scattered electron and photon are at 90 degrees all the time. If that is true, it is misleading to make the angle too close to 90 degrees. I need help from an expert here. | |
| 22:25, 15 February 2015 |  | 298 × 738 (84 KB) | Guy vandegrift | I changed the incoming photons to be coming from below. I think this is correct, which means the Wikipedia articles are wrong. If I am wrong (and the WP articles are correct) then we can revert back to the original image. | |
