The article fascin ated the painter Gerhard Richter: this led to contact between him and Franz J. Giessibl, the inventor of the 'eye' for the atomic force microscope used in imaging the electron cloud. The contact between Richter and Giessibl has continued to this day and the book chronicles their encounters over the past two decades.ISBN 9783753301884.
