Just read the article on ABC Science News about photographing a single atom. Not so convinced that an DSLR and macro lens could achieve this feat.
Obviously the camera is only capturing reflected light, what he may have captured is the apparently larger reflected glow of the laser light from the atom, not the atom itself.
