Comment on 'electron holography on dynamic motion of secondary electrons around sciatic nerve tissues'.
We present an alternative interpretation of the holographic phase dislocation loops revealed by Shindo et al. [J. Electron Microsc. 56(1): 1-5 (2007)] around a charged sample. Our interpretation does not involve the motion of secondary electrons around a charged object. It relates, instead, to fluctuating charges on the sample and to the resulting Moiré-type patterns in the hologram.
