My reply is perfectly comprehensible, even if it may not be
explanatory.<br>
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.<br>

I have seen a photo of an electron. The link above is one of
many that will
<br>
enable you to see one for yourself.

No, you haven't seen a photo of an electron, nor will the link
above allow you to.
