In this paper, the authors demonstrate that cryogenic scanning transmission electron microscopy allows for the direct mapping of the local arrangements and symmetries of electronic order, providing a useful method for studying strongly correlated systems. They show this using the example of Nd1/2Sr1/2MnO3, a model charge ordered material.
