Crystallography:

"All the crystallography is done through the vector equilibrium relationships where there is turbining. There is an accumulation of right and left turbining-- positive and negative, inside and out-- not stopping at equilibrium and therefore always relatively asymmetrical.

"The first photographs through a field emission microscope actually show the discrete atoms themselves. The point of a tungsten needle shows a standing of oranges or whole cannon balls, laying bare layers of whole balls and they are graduated... You'd have to pile them approximately a mile high to come out as the beautiful surface you see on a needle. The atoms are never fractionated; they always come out whole atoms, whole protons and neutrons. Photographs made of the nuclei of whole atoms always come out in that beautiful vector equilibrium pattern."
