This site says the width of a Strontium atom is 4.38 Angstroms, likely measured by packing a bunch into solid form: http://periodictable.com/Properties/A/AtomicRadius.v.html So yeah, it looks 250,000 times bigger than you'd expect, probably because of all kinds of effects like the light spreading out, the limited resolution of the camera's sensor, and motion of the atom.On Tuesday, 13 February 2018 at 23:09:07 UTC, Ali Çehreli wrote:David, this is so cool.
