Original – Experimental setup of the Davisson-Germer experiment
Edit1 - changed labels to sentence case, added more labels, put the filament inside the chamber and coloured it red to indicate that it is hot
Reason
An essential visual aid towards understanding the experiment(which was a major one in physics). The image is based on facts taken from the article with the exception of the electron gun which was based on facts from electron gun.

Parts of an electrical circuit(couple of batteries and a rheostat). Should I label those too??
I would say yes. The symbols may be common knowledge to electrical engineers but it's not immediately obvious to me what those symbols represent. Pine 03:42, 7 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
