Thanks a lot, Mike. That definitely makes things a lot clearer (though not clear per se).

But I'm fundamentally still confused with whether it's just radiation you see on the screen, or whether the buckyballs themselves ("going in the same direction") are moving toward the screen. (And hence whether the interference pattern is just one of radiation or of carbon molecules.)

The buckyballs themselves hit the screen; the interference pattern is interference in the matter waves, not the light emitted. -- Mike Stay - metaweta@gmail.com http://www.cs.auckland.ac.nz/~mike http://reperiendi.wordpress.com
