Imaging a single protein has been a long-standing dream for advancing structural biology and
with this various fields in natural science. Here I will show that, sub-nanometer resolved
images of individual folded proteins have been obtained for the first time. Electrospray
ionization for the specific selection and sound deposition of individual proteins onto ultraclean
freestanding graphene in an ultra-high vacuum environment and low-energy electron
holography for the non-destructive imaging are combined in a novel experimental workflow
