Actually, is it even possible to take a photo of an atom that isn't moving? I thought to slow an atom down to zero movement needed absolute zero temperature and vaguely recall something about not being able to get any data from something that's at absolute zero, so no photo is capable.

I could be entirely wrong, this was over a scotch session with a physicist back in uni days...
