The wave/particle dualism of electrons is well documented by double-slit experiments [1] that demonstrate how quantum mechanical wave functions collapse and emerge in the macroscopic world that surrounds us. In electron microscopy, this subject gained renewed attention with the demonstration that a modulation of the sample illumination in the time domain greatly affects beam-sample interactions [2,3]. These findings raise questions about persistent misconceptions [4] and the entanglement and decoherence in electron microscopy [5].
