@article{1996-haubrich-meschede-europhys-lett-v34-p663, Abstract = {We have identified and photographed individual cesium atoms in a magneto-optical trap with steep magnetic gradients. By switching off the trapping light fields, single atoms were released to a bound state of the magnetic potential. A storage time of 38 s was measured for purely magnetic trapping, whereas a storage time of 147 s was observed in the corresponding magneto-optical trap.}, Author = {Haubrich, D. AND Schadwinkel, H.
