Abstract: Abstract The idea of atomic-resolution holography has its roots in the X-ray work of Bragg1 and in Gabor's electron interference microscope2. Gabor's lensless microscope was not realized in his time, but over the past twelve years there has been a steady increase in the number of reports on atomic-resolution holography. All of this work involves the use of electrons3,4,5,6 or hard X-rays7,8,9,10,11 to produce the hologram. Neutrons are often unique among scattering probes in their interaction with materials: for example, the relative visibility of hydrogen and its isotopes is a great advantage in the study of polymers and biologically relevant materials. Recent work12 proposed that atomic-resolution holography could be achieved with thermal neutrons. Here we use monochromatic thermal neutrons, adopting the inside-source concept of Szöke13, to image planes of oxygen atoms located above and below a single hydrogen atom in the oxide mineral simpsonite14.
