You shouldn't be surprised. I'm amazed that such a photo is even possible!

You have done the impossible. Mad props to you!

Heh, dude, you photographed an atom! "Shoulders of giants" or not, that 
is *seriously* cool. How many people can say they did that? :)

Not only that, it's a damn cool-looking image overall, too!

I'd be fascinated to read more about how this was done, and the 
"back-of-the-envelope calculation showed the numbers to be on my side".

David, this is so cool.  Congratulations!

But I've been wondering something:  Obviously atoms are not this 
large, so what are we seeing in that photograph?  atom 
motion-blur?

A very excited (with lasers) atom giving of a lot (comparatively) 
of light.

This article notes that the electrodes are 2 mm apart:

https://qz.com/1205279/photo-of-an-atom-a-scientist-captured-an-incredible-photograph/

Zooming in on the photo there, let's say the atom takes up 1/20th 
of the width, so that would put it at 100 micrometers, or 1 
million Angstroms.  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.

Gotta love clickbait articles. It's by definition possible 
because... David's done it.

Well done David. I saw this news on my twitter feed and thought - 
I know that name from Dlang. I don't know you personally but I 
have a background in material science. Very well done!
