The psychedelic mandala you are gazing at is a convergent beam electron diffraction pattern.Electron diffraction refers to the wave nature of electrons.

This phenomenon is commonly known as the wave-particle duality, which states that the behavior of a particle of matter (in this case the incident electron) can be described by a wave. For this reason, an electron can be regarded as a wave much like sound or water waves. This technique is similar to X-ray and neutron diffraction. Electron diffraction is most frequently used in solid state physics and chemistry to study the crystal structure of solids. High-res
