spiraling electron from an atlas of typical expansion chamber photographs, 1954 by wolfgang gentner, heinzmaier-leibnitz and walther bothe found in the book objectivity, 2007 by lorraine daston and peter galison
I really like these images. A friend of mine has worked at the CERN particle accelerator in Switzerland. When I saw him a few weeks back I asked him about all the images produced by the collisions. He said something like "To them, is just data". So we see very few because they scan the data and throw it away.
