The image of an atom produced by a quantum gas microscope- is normally a round, slightly blurred speck. The researchers have distorted it into a dumbbell shape (the image shows the theoretical prediction). The direction in which the dumbbell is pointing shows the z coordinate.https://www.physik-astro.uni-bonn.de/en/news/new-method-measures-the-3d-position-of-individual-atoms/meschede-atome-theorie.jpg/viewhttps://www.physik-astro.uni-bonn.de/en/news/new-method-measures-the-3d-position-of-individual-atoms/meschede-atome-theorie.jpg/@@images/image-1200-1f5cbb7e5d89a40720ea83050d9891ab.jpeg
