My reply is perfectly comprehensible, even if it may not be explanatory.
What you and everyone else have seen who followed the link is a 'video' of 
concentric bluish circles. Through _belief_ in Science and its round shape, 
you accepted the description of it as a photo of an electron. However, it is 
not one. If it really is true, it's a rendering of the difraction caused on 
a stream of photons by the successive electron ionisation events. But that 
is not a photo as is commonly understood, which involves reflection, nor of 
'an electron', nor is it a photo in a sense that would constitue autonomous 
evidence for the reality of electrons, though it may be corroborating of the 
model. Images of electrons, as the term 'image' is understood, are not 
possible, if they were there'd be something seriously wrong with the 
Standard Model. Electrons aren't little rubber balls.
