The article looks at possible ways to measure and control orbital angular momentum on the atomic scale with electron microscopes. A study conducted by Masaya Uchida and Akira Tonomura demonstrated the use of orbital angular momentum in an electron microscope. Meanwhile, Jo Verbeeck and He Tian of the University of Antwerp, and Peter Schattschneider of the Vienna University of Tecnhnology produced a hologram by digitally interfering a vortex beam with a reference plane wave in a computer.
