FIRST VIEW INSIDE AN ATOM- ENCOUNTERS WITH GERH...

In July 2000  an article appeared in the daily newspaper Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung with
the title: First look inside an atom with a blurry illustration of the electron clouds of an
atom. The article fascinated the painter Gerhard Richter so much that he used it as a template
for the edition First View (2000). Richter was also interested in how physicists image such
small objects  and 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 remained alive to this day due to common interests  and the book
chronicles their encounters over the past two decades. Gerhard Richter writes of the book  I
couldn't put it down and read it all the way through  not thoroughly yet  but in such a way
that I am very taken with it because it is really very good in every respect! Gerd Binnig 
pioneer of nanotechnology and Nobel Prize winner in physics  says: It reads very nicely and
excitingly. Moreover  the little book has a very special component: the author connects very
different fields and domains such as science  art and business so naturally and seamlessly. As
if it were a world without rifts. That's beautiful.
