How can an electron be filmed in motion?

I read somewhere that electron has been filmed in motion.



How can that be done?



Doesn't that dis-obey the Heisenburg's uncertainty principle?How can an electron be filmed in motion?I thought the same thing....



usually filming means light reflects off an object or is emmitted or absorbed by an object and "film" is either exposed by the light or absence of it....



so did a photon of light stike an electon then get absorbed then desorbed and then captured on film? that is exactly what the uncertainty principle was refering to when it said we can't know the position and momentum of an electron. because our measurement device interacts and changes the object. so I would think the electron would be changed by the filming process....



regardless.... here's the video....

and I'm not really sure what we're looking at here, but those crazy scientists claim it's a video of an electron....



the original article of the video is called "Coherent Electron Scattering Captured by an Attosecond Quantum Stroboscope" and appears in Physical Review Letters, vol. 100. that journal has a site....

here's another article describing attosecond stroboscopes....

If you want to see electrons in motion, watch a thunderstorm, but if anyone says an electron has been "filmed," they're full of it. Seeing requires light; an electron might emit a photon, and true, we have sensors delicate enough to detect a photon, but measuring the wavelength of a photon is hardly producing an image of an electron.
